Whether you are planning to have a family picnic, watch the kids enjoy the playscape, shoot some hoops on the basketball court, play some volleyball, take a stroll on the 1/2 mile walking track, or just relax in the butterfly garden, there is plenty of things to do and enjoy in the La Vernia City Park.

The La Vernia Parks Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the City Park. See the About Us page for more information on our organization, and don't forget to see the latest Park Improvements information for more details on current and past changes in the park.

See you at the Park !

2010 BBQ Cookoff Hot News!!!

The Cook-off is off to a fast start this year. It is mid-June and we already have almost 50 confirmed cooking teams. This year we have teams coming from as far away as Bartlett, Tennessee. If you want to cook, get your entry forms in now! They are available at http://www.laverniabbq.com/entryforms.htm. You can also view the pictures of last year’s winners there. This year we are adding a Sweet Treats Cook-off on Friday Night. And as always we need judges for Friday night and Saturday.

The fun begins Friday at 3 pm when we open the gates with the carnival and later Travis Schultz and the Rutmakers will perform. Since it was such a hit last year, we will once again have karaoke after the Travis Schultz performs. Come on out and show us what American Idol is missing!

Saturday begins when the gates open at 10 am. The carnival, vendors and food booths will open and the fun will start. Don't forget the auction Saturday afternoon. We always have some great items and this year shouldn't be any different! The excitement continues into the evening with The Clay Wilson Band opening for KYLE PARK!!!! That's something you don't want to miss!

Tell everyone and bring your friends out "To the Hottest Time in Town".
