From the Coral Springs City Commission:
As we welcome spring, April in Coral Springs is packed with events that celebrate community, environment, and opportunities for all.
Teen Political Forum (TPF) returns on Thursday, April 3, at 6:30 p.m. at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts (2855 Coral Springs Drive.) This interactive event gives teens the opportunity to engage directly with local, county, and state officials. Details can be found at CoralSprings.gov/TPF.
April is Autism Awareness Month, a time to recognize and support individuals with autism and their families. The city will host a Touch-A-Truck event on Saturday, April 5, at 11 a.m. at Mullins Park (10150 NW 29th Street). This sensory-friendly event allows individuals with special needs to explore emergency response vehicles in a calm and supportive environment. Additionally, caregivers can register loved ones in the city’s special needs database, ensuring first responders have important information to assist individuals during emergencies.

A Sensory Walk will be held on Sunday, April 27, from 9 to 11 a.m. at Cypress Hammock Park (1300 Coral Springs Drive.)
