SIOUX CITY (KTIV) – Some students are already back in school, and even more will be back in the classroom soon.
On Tuesday night, many Siouxland families gathered to enjoy a “back to school” party at the park.
Families enjoyed a free meal, games, crafts and various Siouxland vendors. Children were able to enjoy bounce houses, volleyball and water games with Sioux City Fire Rescue. They could even take a tour of the Wings Air Rescue helicopter.
Sioux City Parks and Recreation held the event at Riverside Park to give families a fun night before summer ends.
“We have this beautiful park system and people enjoy it in their neighborhood parks and there are more regional parks like Riverside. So for us, we just want to put on events and bring people up to them and say, ‘It’s a beautiful night. , let’s go out, come together as a community.’ It brings people together and then people have a great time recreating in their favorite parks,” said John Byrnes, recreation supervisor for Sioux City Parks & Recreation.
The event was Parks and Recreation’s final pop-up park event of the summer.
