"What's Happening in and around Castle Hills"
It is a busy month for Castle Hills especially around the village shops. Below are some of the months activities.
Did You Know?
Solar Eclipse Facts
During a total solar eclipse, the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun. This completely blocks out the Sun's light. However, the Moon is about 400 times smaller than the Sun. How can it block all of that light? Even though the Moon is 400 times smaller than the Sun, it's also about 400 times closer to Earth than the Sun is. This means that from Earth, the Moon and the Sun appear to be roughly the same size in the sky.
Movie Night at Village Shops
Castle Hills Village Shops free movie nights are back April 12! This month you chose The Incredibles, starting at 7:45!

Two of our parks recently underwent upgrades as part of the city's park improvement initiative. Stony Passage Park and Windsor Park, which opened in December, underwent construction starting in August. Stony Passage Park received three multi-tiered towers, slides, a rock-climbing wall, a swing set, and shaded seating areas. Windsor Park updates included two large structures with slides, climbing units, swing sets, and shaded areas. Both parks also received new rubber play surfaces.
