SOCIAL EVENTS - Friendly Park - Greensboro Swim & Tennis Club

Friendly is not just a club, it is a year-round community. We sponsor social events for adult frogs and their families during the summer months and throughout the year.

During the summer season, enjoy our annual Memorial Day Cookout, Swim for Cancer dinner, Fourth of July Fun and Games, Friday Float Nights all summer long, our own Ed's Tacos (the best around!), Tween Party Night, Adult Socials, and concluding with our Labor Day Barbecue and Synchronized Swimming Program. In addition to our pool activities, Friendly has lighted tennis courts with clinics for both adults and kids.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! - After the pool closes for the summer we offer our annual Frogtoberfest party, our Frogs on Ice held at Winterfest in downtown Greensboro in early December, Frogs on Snow ski trip to Wintergreen (typically around the MLK holiday), and an Easter Egg Hunt for our littlest frogs in the springtime.

To learn more upcoming events as they are announced and more details are available, don't forget to check out our Friendly Park News!
