SATURDAY PLANS: Cops & Kids Picnic Returns to Getzendaner Park
Looking for something easy (and free) to do this Saturday? The Waxahachie Police Department is bringing back one of its most popular community events.
The 9th Annual Cops & Kids Picnic is set for April 18, running from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Getzendaner Park. It’s a laid-back, family-friendly event designed to bring the community together—and yes, everything is free to attend.
Organizers say they’re keeping an eye on a small chance of light rain, but right now the plan is full speed ahead.
Here’s what families can expect:
- More than 100 bikes given away to kids
- Bounce houses and a petting zoo
- Face painting and other activities
- Free hot dog meals
- Food trucks on-site with additional options for purchase
The event is all about connecting local officers with families in a relaxed setting. Kids get to play, parents get a break, and everyone gets a chance to meet the people behind the badge.
