Atlantic Parks and Recreation Director Bryant Rasmussen says that the road between the Kiddie Korral and Banstand at Sunnyside Park will be closed on Saturday for the Sunnyside Block Party. The road to get to Sunnyside Pool will still be open along with the rest of the roads in the park. The road closure is needed for the safety of those attending the block party.

The Sunnyside Block Party will be held on Saturday, July 9th from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Sunnyside Park. There will be carnival games, bounce houses, rec games, a dunk tank, Iowa Conservation Station, bingo, and much more. The public is encouraged to come out and enjoy an afternoon of family fun as all activities are free. A-Town Smoke Shack will have food available for purchase at the event.

After the activities wind down you can stick around for a live musical performance from local band Dirt Road Divide at 6:00 p.m. They will perform on the bandstand stage at Sunnyside Park to cap off the day.
