The Southfield Parks and Recreation Department will host Touch-a-Truck on Sunday, April 23 from 1–4 p.m. at the Southfield Municipal Campus North Parking Lot, 26000 Evergreen Road.

Kids of all ages will have a fun afternoon getting up close and personal with the vehicles used to get work done throughout the City of Southfield. Vehicles will be staged throughout the north parking lot (near the Parks & Recreation Building) of the Southfield Municipal Campus.

This free, outdoor event is presented by the Southfield Parks & Recreation Department, Southfield Police Department, Southfield Fire Department and Southfield Department of Public Works.
