One of Stafford’s most beautiful and most beloved parks is getting ready for a big party, and County officials invite everyone to blow out the candles on 40 years of fun, sun and service!
All Stafford citizens are invited to Curtis Memorial Park for its 40th birthday celebration on Saturday, June 20, 2015. The 1970s-themed party will feature disco music, kids’ activities, and lots of opportunities to take a dip in the park’s Olympic-sized swimming pool and zero depth entry wading or tot pool. The first 100 guests will receive a free hot dog and birthday cake will be served. There will also be plenty of pool games, arts and crafts, a shark-themed moon bounce, and a visit by Jaws the Shark, in honor of the 1975 movie. The party starts at 1:00 p.m. and goes until 4:00 p.m.
“Almost everyone who has ever gone to Stafford County schools in the last 40 years has probably been to Curtis Park,” said Chairman of the Stafford Board of Supervisors Gary Snellings. “It has been host to many high school graduation celebrations, swim team practices, swim lessons, and family picnics. Curtis Park has served Stafford County long and well.”
