Costumes are encouraged at each free event, and all masked goblins will be rewarded with free candy. Families can look forward to a variety of activities, all aimed at fostering community engagement.

Parks & Recreation Director James Gossett said the events provide a fantastic opportunity for residents to become more familiar with their local recreation centers while enjoying a festive atmosphere.

"There's nothing scary about these events, but instead plenty of family-friendly fun," Gossett said. "We'll have lots of candy for all the ghosts, monsters and superheroes who visit our recreation centers."

Parks & Recreation's largest seasonal event - the Halloween Party & Haunted House - will be Sunday, Oct. 27, from 4-9 p.m. at The Orion Amphitheater. Attended by thousands of Halloween revelers, the annual event is a collaboration with the Huntsville Police Department.
