My wife and I are both 30 with a toddler, and we’re looking to branch out and meet some new people. We’d love for our daughter to grow up around more than just us and our immediate family, and we’d also like to make some friends ourselves.

I am a former college baseball player who enjoys golfing, watching sports, and grilling. My wife is more into art and board games. We also love spending time with our daughter and doodle.

Are there any local dad groups, family groups, playgroups, or other good ways to meet people around our age? We’re open to pretty much anything: community events, sports, volunteer opportunities, or other suggestions.

Would love to hear what’s worked for others. Thanks!

SURPRISE, AZ (AZFamily) — The federal government has hit the pause button on the proposed ICE facility in Surprise in a deal with Arizona.
In an agreement filed in federal court Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal leaders will not move forward with the facility while the feds complete an environmental review.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes filed a lawsuit in April claiming the federal government skipped the required environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act.
The feds agreed they will not do any construction or retrofitting on the warehouse on Sweetwater Avenue, south of Waddell Road and west of Dysart Road while the environmental review is being done.

Federal officials must update the court every two months on the review’s progress. Once it’s completed, both sides must meet within 10 days and submit court paperwork for the next steps in the case.
Mayes said in an emailed statement that the pause is what’s best for Arizona.
“This agreement is a significant win for the people of Surprise and for the rule of law,” Mayes said. “Federal agencies must complete the environmental review process required by federal law before moving forward with these types of projects. My office will keep fighting to ensure the law is followed.”

Anyone on this side of town know where I can get into some games? I don’t want to drive all the way to chandler just to play, would prefer a bar atmosphere but open to club style play.
