Winter Olympics In Service Day Camp | February 17

February 17 is an In Service day for JSD and Zach Gordon Youth Center is offering a day camp for any students looking for something fun to do! The day camp is Winter Olympic themed, meaning there will be ice skating, sledding, relays, and more! Registration is open February 2 at noon - February 13 at noon, and the cost is $45.

Jensen-Olson Arboretum Winter Hours

The Jensen-Olson Arboretum winter hours are Friday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors are invited to enjoy the beauty of Southeast Alaska as the Arboretum transforms into a seasonal winter wonderland.

Access within the Arboretum will be limited due to winter conditions. Visitors are asked to remain on cleared pathways only, as deep snow can make it difficult to identify the boundaries of garden beds. Guests should use caution both when traveling to the Arboretum and while on the grounds, as paths may be uneven, soft, hard-packed, or icy, particularly in exposed coastal areas. Please keep in mind there are no public restrooms at the JOA at this time.

Summer Shelter Reservations are Open

Summer shelter reservations between April 15 – September 15 are now open. Reservations cost $35 per hour plus tax and can be made online under the Reservation tab, in person at the Parks & Recreation main office in City Hall or by emailing this form to [email protected]. Although, registering online offers a greater chance of securing your desired date and time.

If a shelter is not reserved, it is still available for public use on a first-come, first-served basis. Find information on all Parks & Recreation shelters, including location, capacity, and on-site facilities, on the shelter reservation page.

Open Pickleball now includes Saturdays!

CBJ Parks & Recreation is hosting open pickleball in the Floyd Dryden gym every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 12:30-3:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 3:00-6:00 p.m. beginning January 17.
Players of all ages and skill levels are welcome—whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned player, it’s a great chance to play, learn, and connect with other pickleball fans in Juneau. Admission is $5. Equipment is provided and no pre-registration is needed, just drop in ready to play.

Elevator construction at Dimond Park Field House

During the summer of 2025, the Dimond Park Field House began a major upgrade with the installation of a new elevator. Construction of the elevator has been completed; however, final integration with the building’s fire alarm system has delayed its opening. The anticipated completion date is Spring 2026.

The facility is currently operating under regular hours and programming. Thank you for your patience as we work to improve accessibility and enhance the Field House experience! For full schedule details, please visit the DPFH Calendar.

Sigoowu Ye Park Closed for Renovations

Sigoowu Ye in Lemon Creek will remain closed to the public as renovation work continues. Construction has been delayed due to weather and is now expected to be completed in spring 2026. Renovations to the park include new playground equipment, landscaping, pathways, and lighting. For the safety of yourself and others, please respect the park closure and avoid all construction equipment until the project is complete and the park has reopened.

Homestead Park Closed for Reconstruction

Homestead Park in Douglas will be closed to the public for major reconstruction work beginning Monday, January 13. Construction is expected to continue into June 2025. During this closure, the park will undergo a number of improvements including replacements to the elevated wooden platforms, walkways, and stairs. This project is funded by the Marine Passenger Fee program. Learn more about the Homestead Park Rebuild project on the CBJ project page.
