Collegedale Community Spark Event Rescheduled For June 17

  • Tuesday, April 22, 2025
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Collegedale Parks and Recreation Department’s event, Community Spark, originally set for today, has been rescheduled for Tuesday, June 17. 
  
This event is a partnership with the Tri-Community Fire Department and other local businesses and organizations to share information about fire safety and Earth Day. The aim is to combine educational content with fun activities, encouraging the community to get the “spark” going by engaging in important conversations.

Collegedale Parks and Recreation Supervisor Christina Clark, said, “I’ve had this idea of using fun, community-wide events to raise awareness about safety and encourage conversations among neighbors, helping everyone feel safe with our First Responders and our neighbors.”

The free, family-friendly Community Spark event will now take place on Tuesday, June 17 from 5-8 p.m.
at the Collegedale Commons, 4750 Swinyar Dr. in Ooltewah.

“We will have local businesses and organizations set up booths with various activities, and there will be three food trucks available for food and treats,” added Ms. Clark.

If your business or group would like to participate, contact the Collegedale Parks and Recreation Department via email at parksandrec@collegedaletn.gov or by phone at 423-468-1971.
