The farm is located in the southeast corner of Eagan, alongside Holz Lake. Currently, the eight acres owned by the City are used for educational, historical and entertainment activities. In 1996, efforts began to preserve and protect the house, barn and outbuildings that are examples of the 1940’s era. A Master Plan for the site was completed in 2003. As of June 2007, the farmstead has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Volunteer for Friends of the Farm There are various programs and events throughout the year at Holz Farm that need energetic volunteers. If you are interested, please call Eagan Parks & Recreation at (651) 675-5500. Join Friends of the Farm Friends of the Farm, a non-profit land stewardship organization staffed by volunteers and dedicated to cultivating an appreciation of farm life. This group was formed to help preserve and restore Holz Farm.

Help is needed in the areas of education/ teaching, farming knowledge, tour guides, grounds maintenance, paint- ing, clean-up days, interpretation of 1930’s and 1940’s farm implements and planning of special events.

The first week of class is a parent/teacher meeting, children should begin attending with their parents the second week of class, June 20 Start Smart’s goal is to devel- op a child’s basic interest in sports, to increase their self confidence and to help them find success in sports. Parents work with their children in a supportive environment to learn all the basic skills for sports without the fear of competition. Start Smart also teaches parents how to be positive sports parents and how to teach their child basic sports skills by working with other children and parents on teams rotating through stations. Age appro- priate equipment by Koosh ® is used in teaching basic sports skills, and each participant will receive their own bag of equipment at the end of the course. All equipment and curriculum is devel- oped by NYSCA, America's leading advocate for positive and safe sports for children. Some team work games and activities will also be incorporated into this class. This is not an "observa- tion" class, only the participant and the participating parent need to attend.

There is no better time to start playing tennis than now! QuickStart tennis is a new and exciting format for learning the game of tennis. The goal of the QuickStart Lessons is for kids ages 5-10 to build skills that enable kids to rally with a partner. USTA (United States Tennis Association) created this format that caters directly to young beginning tennis players. To make it easier for the youngsters to learn, the QuickStart tennis format changed the net size, the court size, the balls, the rackets and even the scoring system to make it easier for younger players. The program is designed to help children succeed but also focuses on having fun through games, relays and instruction. Participants are asked to wear tennis shoes, bring their racket and a water bottle. A limited number of rack- ets will be available for those without one. Classes are held Monday - Thursday. Lesson Description Ages 5 & 6 This age group will work on developing the hand-eye coordination necessary to improve tennis skills. Ball control and large motor skills are a huge focus through games, drills and relays. Ages 7 & 8 This age group will focus on being able to rally back and forth over the net with both forehands and backhands. Fun drills and games will help the children learn how to control the ball. Ages 9 & 10 This age group will work on developing the skills needed both to rally back and forth over the net as well as the skills needed to play a mini tennis match. Make Ups: One make-up day is scheduled each week in case of class cancellation. Make-up for each week will be on the Friday of that week at the same time and same location.

When images are published, the City will take cautionary steps to provide minimum identifying infor- mation and will not use a specific street or mailing address, e-mail addresses or phone numbers. While signed release forms are generally not needed when photographing in public places, such as parks, this extra step is being taken because the images taken are intended for use in City publica- tions and communications.

Eagan Parks & Recreation periodically takes pictures of participants in our class- es, during special events and in the parks. Please be aware that these photos may be used in the City’s brochures, pamphlets, or cable presentations. If you or your family members do not want to be pho- tographed or published you must give us written notice.
