The Parks & Recreation Department has hired a new part-time employee for the summer that you may recognize – Elden the Bear! You might spot him exploring one of our 11 parks, showing up at events, or even starring in social media challenges like “Where’s Elden?” With his friendly wave and adventurous spirit, Elden helps us connect with the community in a playful, meaningful way while promoting all of the fun Parks & Recreation has to offer.

From coloring pages to scavenger hunt and kid-friendly messages like “Elden Says,” this initiative is all about making recreation more engaging for families and creating paws-itviely memorable experiences. Make sure you’re following Herndon Parks & Recreation on Facebook, Instagram, and X to get involved in the fun this summer! 

Mark your calendars! Council will be hard at work this month, and we want you to stay informed and involved.
