Looking for fun activities and options for the winter season for yourself and family members? Are you interested in getting a team of co-workers together and put your skills to the test on the hardwood, the court or on the ice? Want to know when the City’s Easter Egg Hunt will be held?
The City’s Parks and Recreation Department has issued its 2023 Winter Program Guide, available on the Department’s home page at https://www.rcgov.org/…/
The Program Guide has expanded this year from 28 pages to 44 pages, and provides detailed information on activities, leagues, programs, lessons and special events for the Department’s various divisions. Included in the Guide’s offerings: admission rates, on-line activity registration information, contact information, hours of operation, facility policies, safety rules, gym rental fees, etc.
Some of the Guide’s offerings include information on ice skating, hockey programs and leagues, learn to skate classes and public skate rates at the Roosevelt Ice Arena; winter youth and adult swim lessons, health and safety program courses, lifeguard, CPR and scuba diver certifications and trainings, fitness and exercise classes and water polo with the Aquatics Division at the Roosevelt Swim Center; information on spring volleyball leagues, winter basketball leagues, adult hockey leagues; information on outdoor ice rinks and more.
“The Winter Guide is a great resource, providing important information on everything you want or need to know about our Recreation Division programs, activities and events,” said Doug Lowe, Recreation Department director. “If you want to know our hours of operation for the Swim Center’s leisure and lap pools when school is out for the holidays, it’s in the Guide. If you want to know about special events at our facilities, scheduling a birthday party, how to register for leagues, classes and lessons, it’s in the Guide.
“Our Winter Guide help you to plan ahead and consider options for kids and family activities. We offer numerous programs, classes, lessons and special events at the Swim Center and the Ice Arena during the long winter season. Our activity leagues are very popular and there is literally activities, classes and event for people of all ages.”
The Guide also includes the schedule for the Badlands Sabres ice hockey team, information on February’s Black Hills Gold Rush program presented by the Black Hills Figure Skating Club and the Black Hills Skating Academy and other special event programs.
