Listen Later

Wake up, Apex – it’s another beautiful spring morning here in the Peak of Good Living! Tuesday’s sunrise brought clear skies and a gentle breeze, perfect for anyone itching to get outside. Temperatures climbed to a comfortable 77 degrees by mid-afternoon, and the pollen count hovered at moderate levels – the oaks and grasses are making their presence known but not in full assault mode, so allergies are manageable for most.

If you were out and about last night, you may have noticed the town’s parks bustling with activity. The Apex High Cougars soccer team wrapped up their regular season with a nail-biting 2-1 victory over the Holly Springs Hawks. The crowd at Apex Friendship High roared with pride as the Patriots’ softball team clinched a spot in the regional playoffs, topping Green Hope 5-3 in a game filled with diving catches and lightning-fast base running.

Our parks maintenance crew has been hard at work as well: if you stopped by Pleasant Park or the Apex Nature Park, you may have heard a little extra noise yesterday. Boardwalk builders are testing the ground and installing posts for a new trail, so expect some exciting upgrades to your favorite walking paths soon. Just be patient with the construction sounds – serenity will return before you know it.

As for the air quality, Apex residents can breathe easy. The AQI remained in the good range throughout the past 24 hours, with clear skies and light winds helping to dissipate any lingering pollutants. It’s a prime day for an after-school bike ride or evening jog.

Don’t forget: this afternoon at Eva Perry Regional Library, little ones in K-2nd grade can join the Backyard Games session from 4:30 to 5:15 pm – a perfect way to burn off energy and maybe meet a new friend or two.

Keep your eyes peeled for updates on the Saunders Lot reconstruction and the upcoming Memorial Day ceremony – both are sure to bring the community together in the days ahead. For now, enjoy this slice of small-town charm: vibrant parks, winning teams, and neighbors out making the most of spring in Apex[1][3][4].
