🌱 Stirling Park Transition + Puzzle Pandemonium + Luau In The Park

Hello, everybody! It's Kristen, your host of the Dunedin Patch newsletter — back in your inbox with everything that's fit to print about what's happening in town these days. In today's issue of the newsletter, you'll learn about these stories and more:

• A special back-to-school event at Fenway Hotel.
• A public meeting on Stirling Park's transition.
• Luau in the Park event at TD Ballpark this weekend.

But first, today's weather: A t-storm around in the p.m. High: 92 Low: 82.

Here are the top 3 stories today in Dunedin:

1. The City of Dunedin is holding a public meeting on Stirling Park's transition into a community park and potential locations for new pickleball courts. All are welcome to attend the meeting on July 27 at 6 p.m. at City Hall. The discussion will also cover the results of a recent community survey on the matter, as well as plans for improvements to the park. Stay up to date on the city's plans for Stirling Park here.

2. The Dunedin Public Library is hosting Puzzle Pandemonium on July 22 between noon and 3 p.m. Six teams made up of four people will compete to finish identical puzzles. The first team to complete the puzzle will win a prize! There are still plenty of spaces open, so register online at the link if you're interested. There's no need to create a team, as participants will be randomly divided into groups of four. (Dunedin Public Library)
3. Bring the family to TD Ballpark on Saturday, July 22, for a Luau in the Park at 6:30 p.m.! There will be plenty for both kids and adults to enjoy, including flamingo hunting, island crafts, a tiki piñata, airbrush tattoos, and island music. Wear your best Hawaiian shirt to get into the event for just $4! (Dunedin Blue Jays via Facebook)
