Kids: Climb Aboard and Explore on Truck Day in Andover

Truck Day is July 23 from 10:00-11:30 am in the Park at the corner of Bartlet & Chestnut streets. This Andover DCS Preschool Park Event is a great chance for kids ages 1-6 to explore the inside and outside of the Andover Department of Public works trucks and meet the Essex County Sheriff’s Departments K-9 Division and McGruff the Crime Dog!

Kids will get to see dump trucks, plows, loaders and more! They will get to climb inside for a firsthand view of how these vehicles work and sit in the driver’s seat while parents snap a picture! Arts, crafts, and other fun activities are also planned for the day!

The Preschool Park Events take place for four consecutive weeks on Thursday from 10:00-11:30 AM, with a rain date scheduled for the following Friday should weather be an issue. These events are aimed for children ages 1-6 and preregistration is encouraged, but not required. The cost to pre-register is just $5 per child while day of registration in The Park is $7 per child. The final event will be the Teddy Bear Picnic on July 30th.

Registration is available through DCS by calling 978-623-8274 or by going online to AndoverDCS.com.
