The City of Grand Junction will host a free, family-friendly “Get to Know Your City” event June 5 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Dos Rios Park Magpie Shelter.

City staff will share information about projects, plans and new initiatives focused on city services. City Manager Mike Bennett and city staff will be available to answer questions and engage with community members.

Bennett said the event is a fun and informative way to kick off the summer season with a splash near the Dos Rios Splash Pad and the Bike Park at Dos Rios Park.

“There’s something for everyone at this event, whether you’re learning about city services, wanting more education on safe cycling or visiting the Touch-A-Truck stations,” Bennett said. “The Splash Pad, which opened near the end of the 2024 summer season, is now open and welcomes families to attend and enjoy the feature.”

“Get to Know Your City” events are planned throughout the year, and these events are open to all community members. For information or questions about the event, email communications@gjcity.org.
