Lovin' CdA
There are many sites about Coeur d'Alene. Many of them have great information about the city, the lake, and the surrounding area. But very few are updated regularly, and even fewer are updated by local people! Our goal is to provide a networking site through which Coeur d'Alene residents can provide useful information to the other members of the local community. LoveCdA will be the repository of all information about the city and the area, useful to local residents and visitors alike.
Coeur d'Alene Parks Day Celebration 7/11/2009
Coeur d'Alene has 24 parks.
Twenty-four multi-purpose areas where families can spend their days enjoying the best the North Idaho outdoors has to offer. Many of these parks are unknown even to the people who live here, so the Coeur d'Alene Parks Foundation decided to raise awareness of the city's parks with the 2008 Parks Day, featuring Bluegrass, Ramsey, and Riverstone Parks and the Prairie Trail that links them. The event was wildly successful and is being presented again this year!
July 11, 2009 the second Coeur d'Alene Parks Day Celebration kicks off at 8:00 am at Shadduck Lane Park. Art on the Edge, Bicycle Safety Demonstration, a free pancake breakfast (starting at 9 am) and many other family-oriented events and activities will be there. At 8:30 guided hikes on nearby Canfield Mountain will begin.
Celebration moves to Cherry Hill Park at noon for the Fallen Heroes Plaza dedication, a free hot dog lunch (starting at 1:00), Idaho Disaster Dogs demo, basketball, tennis, disc golf, and more.
Summer-time Means Fun-time for Coeur d'Alene Locals and Visitors Alike
As the weather gets warmer in Coeur d'Alene there are two things that we're bound to see: locals making any excuse to go play outside, and the sudden arrival of countless tourists. Both groups now find themselves asking, "What is there to do in Coeur d'Alene during the summer?" Luckily for all of you, there's a ton of fun to be had.
Excluding the obvious (biking, swimming, hiking) I've compiled a list of things to do and events to look forward to:
June 12-13 Car d'Lane
June 21 Shriner's Circus at the Kootenai County Fairground
June 21 Ironman Triathlon Coeur d'Alene
July 4 Forth of July Celebration
July 11 Parks Day Celebration
