Iowa City's tour of community parks kicked off at Court Hill Park with Party in the Park on Thursday.
Party in the Park stops at a new park each week. It's an excuse to get together with family and neighbors over music, bubbles, games and ice cream. Nancita Wernett performed bluegrass and folk songs.
About 80 people turned out on Thursday until rain sent people running for cover. It ran from 6:30 to 8 pm.
Due to flooding, the schedule could be getting moved around. You can check with the parks and rec department for updates at (319) 356-5100.
