๐Ÿˆ JACKSONVILLE PARKS SANDLOT NIGHT POSTPONED ๐Ÿˆ

Due to current field conditions and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of all participants, Jacksonville Parks & Recreation has made the decision to postpone Sandlot Night originally scheduled for June 5th.

๐Ÿ“… New Date: July 10, 2026
๐Ÿ•• Time: 6:00 PM
๐Ÿ“ Location: Dupree Park

We know everyone was looking forward to getting out on the field, but player safety is our top priority. Moving the event will allow us time to ensure the fields are in proper condition and provide the best possible experience for our young athletes and families.

We appreciate everyoneโ€™s understanding and look forward to seeing a great crowd on July 10th for an evening of fun, flag football, and community spirit!

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post.
