The Coppinger YMCA, PearlandParks and Recreation, HEB, Pearland ISD and Space Center Systems have teamed up to provide Pearland the ultimate picnic experience. Introducing “Picnic on the Parkway!” For the very first time, this Labor Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., a portion of Pearland Parkway will be transformed into the best picnic spot in Pearland. Bring your family, friends, and pets and come ready to play, eat, and relax…all in the middle of the street!

The activities will take place on Pearland Parkway, between Oiler Drive and No Name Road and continue throughout Independence Park. Scheduled activities include skateboarding, sidewalk chalk art, BMX demos, tug-of-war, roller skating, volleyball, croquet, a health fair, BBQ safety tips and much more!  Picnic on the Parkway is a component of the City of Pearland’s participation in the “Healthy at HEB Community Challenge” – a city-wide challenge focused on healthy living that will take place in the months of September and October. Join us on Monday, September 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and help make Pearland “Healthy to the Core!”
