Red heart-shaped craft that reads "I Love You" on it

Create Crafts with Kids at KidCreate

What better way to create memories than working side by side with your child to create some art projects. Leave the mess with us, but come away with a fun craft in our KidCreate Studio classes. Our next two classes are 9:30-10:30 a.m. Mondays, Feb. 7 and 21, as our caregiver/child tandems create jumbo-sized clay hearts for Valentine's Day and then make a cookie jar complete with clay cookies. These classes are for ages 1.5-6, but will be fun for all in attendance. Sign up today!

100 Days to Health Kicks Off This Month with Hundreds of Classes

We’re less than one month away from Healthy Livonia’s 100 Days to Health kickoff event 9 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 27. Make sure you don’t let those New Years resolutions fade away as you try to be the healthiest you possible.

Sign up and attend hundreds of fun classes, educational seminars and events through June 5, as well as the optional weight loss challenge for your chance to win a variety of prizes. Take a glimpse at the schedule for the kickoff event, or visit Livonia.gov/1859 to see the full list of daily programs.

For those who aren’t members of the Kirksey Recreation Center yet, this is also a great way to get your foot in the door and get a feel for dozens of our group fitness classes before deciding if a membership is right for you.

FREE Ice Rink, Games and Activities Available to Keep You Moving

The outdoor ice rink at Greenmead Historical Park opened for the season last week and is ready for fun times. Bring your own skates and dress for the weather at this FREE activity daily from dawn until dusk. With the forecast of warmer weather today and tons of snow the next two days, the rink will be temporarily closed Tuesday-Thursday this week. Once things are cleaned up for the weekend, avoid skating if warmer than 32 degrees.

If the weather has you wanting to stay indoors, we have a variety of newer items available at the Kirksey Recreation Center. Our open play time for ages 5 and younger started in the fall and has become a hit as kids explore a variety of games and toys we have available from 9-11 a.m. every Tuesday in the MAC Gym.

We also have virtual fun to help get you moving with our kid-focused BEAM projection games and our hundreds of adult-focused Studio SWEAT onDemand group fitness class recordings. Both take place in The Rec's Activity Room on a drop-in basis when other programs are not taking place.

We have a new open gym schedule that offers up two new pickleball time slots for all skill levels, as well as drop-in floor hockey availability.

All of these activities are FREE to the public regardless of residency status. The Kirksey Recreation Center activities require a membership or day pass.
