HARLINGEN — The city’s Parks and Recreation Department wants your input into its popular Movies in the Park series coming up this summer.
Last year, the three films selected for the cinematic trilogy were “Moana,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and “Finding Dory.”
Those films are not on the selection list for this year, so new choices must be made.
The films last summer were shown at Lozano Plaza, Tony Butler Golf Course and McKelvey Park, but all will be screened this year at Lozano Plaza downtown at Jackson Avenue and South A Street.
“Last year we probably averaged around 200 people each movie, but we had three different venues,” said Lara Di Paola, recreation supervisor for the Parks and Recreation Department. “This year all three movies will be at Lozano Plaza — Friday, June 22, July 20 and Aug. 17.”
Movies on the list to be shown this summer at Movies in the Park are “Coco,” “Monster Trucks,” “Despicable Me 3,” “Cars 3,” “Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” “Sand Lot,” “E.T.,” “Honey I Shrunk the Kids,” “Back to the Future,” “Jumanji” (new version), “Justice League,” “Wonder Woman” and “The Avengers.”
To cast a vote for the three movies to be shown this summer, go to the Parks and Recreation Department Facebook page and message the parks department with your three favorites.
“We will be keeping the poll open until end of the day Wednesday and then will announce the movies later in May,” Di Paola added.
