Pumpkin Dunk

We’re turning the FCC's indoor pool into a floating pumpkin patch! Families are invited to go dunkin’ for pumpkins. To make things more fun, we'll have a few special pumpkins greased up (so they're extra slippery).

Registration is required for this event and the cost is $8 per family member wanting a pumpkin. To register, give us a call at 970.858.0360 or visit recreation.fruita.org.

Family Hikes

Take a hike! The Fruita Parks and Recreation Department is offering guided family hikes. To participate, the cost is $5 per person and participants must register ahead of time. Bring a snack, water, and good shoes.
