He's a small in a world of bigs, but this kid is ready to change the game! If you're ready to get pumped about Roarball too, bring your friends and family to Deane Wiley at sundown this Saturday, 6/13, for a free showing of the movie GOAT on our inflatable screen, thanks to Security State Bank. Make sure to come early to enjoy a sno cone from Wam's Tropical Sno - Handmade Hawaiian Shaved Ice and play a little ball yourself on the courts at the park before the movie starts. The only thing holding you back is you!

All we need is one shot to show the world...a movie about a kid with some serious game! Movies Under the Moon are back for Summer 2026, and we're kicking off the series with the new movie GOAT, about a little guy's aspirations to become the Greatest Of All Time. So bring your squad - plus some blankets and camp chairs - and head over to Deane Wiley Park as we partner with Security State Bank to bring you our first outdoor movie of the summer.
