Youth Activities

WINTER GREETINGS! Winter and spring are exciting seasons for West Bend. Our community is once again hosting an impressive list of events and programs for you to enjoy with family and friends. Early winter events include Enchantment in the Park and the 5K Reindeer Run in Regner Park. January 17-19 is our Winter Warm-Up, which includes the Hugh Jass fat tire bike race and Lac Lawrann Luminary Walk, both happening on January 18. The official end to winter in West Bend is March 1, when we celebrate Bockfest in Regner Park.

Our Recreation division is offering a wide variety of youth and adult programs. Programs include learn to swim, judo, youth gymnastics, ballroom dance, spring soccer, baseball, and archery. Nature based offerings at Lac Lawrann Conservancy include Winter Fun Days, Snowshoe Fridays, snowshoe group field trips, and hiking trips and tours. Get signed up early, before classes begin to fill up.

Begin planning your 2025 private event at one of our many park pavilions and shelters. Online or in person registration for 2025 facility rentals opens January 2. Lac Lawrann Conservancy offers a fantastic wedding package.

Contact our department or website for additional details. Plan now for that special event.

Community events, outstanding programing, and a very impressive park and trail system provide our community with many opportunities to stay active during the winter and spring seasons. We hope to see you around town, celebrating your community.
