There are so many things to see and do this summer, but we hope you’ll consider joining us for some of the great programs and events happening with Centre Region Parks and Recreation! We’ve got a brand new program, “Rec On The Go,” that will be coming to you this summer!

Watch for more information regarding locations, times, etc. For the third time, the Summer Tennis League is back and open to all player levels! Get those racquets ready for summer! The second Welch Cardboard Regatta is back with a new division! Soon, there will be some new geocaches in the area, so plan to get outside with the family and find these treasures! And don’t forget our summer standards: Touch A Truck, Arts Fest Kids Day, Kids On Wheels Parade, and the Youth Triathlon!
