For over six decades, the Avon Lake community has been nurturing the creative spirits of its young ones through a beloved tradition known as the Greenbox. This free craft program, tailored for children aged 5-12, has become a cornerstone of summertime fun and learning, providing a space for kids to relax and create.
What exactly is the Greenbox? Imagine a big, inviting green box brimming with a plethora of craft supplies, nestled in various parks throughout Avon Lake from June 10th to July 26th. At the heart of the Greenbox program are its dedicated attendants, ready to assist and inspire young minds as they embark on their creative journeys. Whether it’s painting, crafting, or creating intricate masterpieces out of everyday materials, there’s something for every child to dive into and explore.
Locations for the Greenbox are scatterd throughout different parks in the city such as Bleser, Weiss, Sunset & Overlook, Belle Road Park & Resatar, Redwood, and Wedgewood. The Avon Lake Parks & Rec website serves as a valuable resource. Here, you can find detailed information on the Greenbox hours of operation for each location.
