2024-2025 Billings Parks and Recreation Winter Activity Guide by simplylocalus

NOVEMBER 2024 - APRIL 2025

A LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

Billings Parks and Recreation Department’s over-arching goal is “ONE MORE”. Which means we do all we can to get one more person to come to a park, join in a program or, enroll in a camp.

Our Winter brochure has all types of activities I am sure something for everyone. If you don’t see an activity that interests you, let us know and we will explore adding it next year. We are hoping everyone gets out and enjoys our winter programming.

Stay Active,
