Each week through August, at different parks around town, Movies in the Park - Friday Night Flicks 2018 will feature themes related to the title, costume contests, theme snacks, crafts, family picnic games and prizes. This family-orientated summer activity allows the community to come together and enjoy their neighbors, as well as several parks that Menifee oversees. The series is completely free and offers food and drinks for sale by the Menifee Valley Lions Club. Activities begin at 6:00pm. and movies begin at Dusk. Because it is outside, be sure to bring your lawn chair, as well as blankets. Relax and enjoy the show!
This year’s lineup of movies is a great one, and we encourage everyone to weigh-in on the selected movie for 90’s night, and let staff know your selection on the City’s Facebook page. Did someone say Sandlot?” To see a full schedule of movies, please visit www.cityofmenifee.us/384/Movies-in-the-Park.
Menifee hosted their first “Movie in the Park” of Summer 2018 at Audie Murphy Ranch Sports Park on June 15th, located at Town Square Park, 30376 Lone Pine Dr. It is fair to say it was a great turnout. The baseball fields were filled with families and their lawn chairs anxiously waiting for the sun to go down. Games, activities and prizes occupied the time before dusk. This event was a great example of community involvement.
Menifee has a new skatepark for the kids to enjoy over by Audie Murphy Ranch Sports Park that family and friends can enjoy.
Menifee gets extremely hot, and although we don’t have a beach in Menifee, we do have an RTA bus service that goes from here to Oceanside where there are beaches. Rates as low as $6 are offered. Don’t worry about the traffic, pack up kids, sit back and relax.
What’s better than a sweet treat on a hot afternoon? Yojos, Yogurtland, and Krispy Kremes is the place to be this summer. Krispy Kremes has amazing new flavors such as, Cake Batter Donuts, and Yogurtland has new flavors such as, Hibiscus Passion Fruit Sorbet yogurt.
Being Healthy is also on the summer bucket list. Luckily, there are a lot of nice hiking trails in Menifee that the family and friends can enjoy together. Be sure to visit trails like Cross Hike across Freedom Crest Elementary, at Audie Murphy as well as the awesome trail across from the marketplace.
Parents need a few to cut the edge off? Head on over to Menifee’s first “Brewery Mason Jar” and grab a cold one. With about 10 beer selections and a great staff, you won’t be disappointed.
The Independence Day Celebration on June 30, 2018 at Wheatfield Park was a great success. A family fun day filled with vendors, a parade, beer garden, kids zone and a firework show. It was awesome!
Jonathan Nicks, Community Services Director says: “We have seen event series grow each year, and we are continuously adding new event components to the series that residents seem to really love”.
