Since there is no school on Friday, Oct. 17, 2025, for students in Palm Beach County public schools, the City of Boca Raton is inviting families to its first-ever “Rec Pop-Up Day.” This is a day for you and your child to have an opportunity to explore, play, and create fun stuff for free!
Rec Pop-Up Day
- When: Friday, Oct. 17, from noon to 2 p.m.
- Where: Wildflower Park, 551 E. Palmetto Park Road
- Cost: Free

You not only will get a chance to meet some of the Parks & Recreation staff, but you'll also get a chance to try out activities, challenges, and games for all ages. The city will provide the fun and music. All you need to take is a bathing suit to enjoy the splash pad and your own picnic. Beverages and frozen treats will be available for purchase.
