2024 Spring Summer Activity Guide

DICKINSON PARKS & RECREATION

Spring//Summer Activity Guide 2024 Spring

welcome DIRECTOR'S NOTE

Having now experienced two winters in Dickinson – the snowiest on record and the coldest temperature on record – I now appreciate more than ever the coming of spring. As the vibrant hues of spring and the warm embrace of summer beckon, prepare to embark on a journey of leisure and recreation with the Dickinson Parks and Recreation Spring/Summer Activity Guide. This comprehensive guide serves as your passport to a season filled with outdoor adventures on the Crooked Crane Trail and Patterson Lake, relaxation at one of the many parks, or memorable experiences at the

West River Community Center, with a wealth of new programs waiting to be explored.

Families can bond over picnics in scenic parks, attend outdoor concerts, or participate in a wide array of family-friendly fun. This guide is not just a compilation of activities; it’s an invitation to embrace the spirit of the season. Discover hidden gems in your community, try something new, and create lasting memories with loved ones. As the days stretch longer and the sun graces us with its warmth, let the Dickinson Parks and Recreation Spring/Summer Activity

Guide, along with the resources at dickinsonparks.org, be your compass to a season filled with exploration and excitement.
