Sharks, Bison, and Pickleball (Oh My!)

Good morning, SCV. This is The SCV Insider. I’m currently in vacation mode trying to get a toddler into hiking socks while convincing our dog she cannot eat pinecones. Since I’m away, this week’s Insider is coming to you in a quick-hit, no-frills format (but still with the good stuff you need, promise)

Let’s get into it.

Local Stories

• 🥾 The 2025 Hiking Challenge at William S. Hart Park is back — seven trails, a free checklist, and a shot at a custom shirt. Yes, bison are included. Grab the checklist.

• 🌳 Old Orchard Park just got a glow-up: brand-new playground, sports courts (pickleball alert), and a colorful public art piece. Official reopening is Tuesday, Sept 30 at 9am. See what’s new.

• 🥪 Child & Family Center x Jersey Mike’s fundraiser means you can eat a sub and call it philanthropy. Flyer + RSVP QR is right here.

Thanks for reading today.

I’ll be back next week with a proper deep dive once I’ve survived toddler bedtime in a rental cabin. Until then, enjoy your parks, your subs, and your shark movies.

Cheers,
