Join us for a day of fun! Jobs include supervising the Teddy Bear Parade, Life-Sized Games and Inflatables. Shifts are 10:30-12:30pm, 12:00-2:00pm, 1:30-3:30pm, 3:00-5:00pm, 4:30-6:30pm, and 6:00-7:30pm. Sign up here to volunteer.

Make sure to leave yourself time to find parking. The Island Park parking lots and ramp are both closed for the 2024 season due to construction.  There is parking at Dill Hill and the Dike West Park & Skate Park. There is also plenty of street parking in the area around the park.  

Area businesses and organizations will be set up and ready to play in the park! Stop by to see all the great offerings there are for kids in our community and play a game, make a craft, or learn something new.

Coming back this year, Leika Sensory Creations will be onsite with a sensory friendly area featuring sensory toys and activities. 

The Teddy Bear parade will begin on the north end of Island Park by 1st Ave and travel along a colorful path through the park to kick off the festivities. Parade line-up starts at 10:30 am. Photographs and video will be taken along the parade route that will be used for future marketing and promotion. Bring a canned food donation to benefit the Great Plains Food Bank to the parade along with your Teddy Bear!
