Community Donations
Moosomin Parks and Recreation would like to extend a request to the community for donations towards the Sports Equipment Loaner Building. Maybe you have an old ball glove, an old pair of skates, an old cornhole game, an old set of disc golf discs, an old set of golf clubs, or an old bike …whatever!
Keep in mind, all of this equipment is available to both in town and out of town residents. As such we would also be excited for out of town donations to the inventory.
Parks and Rec would be more than happy to pick up any donations both in and out of town.
If you would be willing to donate to this amazing program please email Mike at msmn.rec.brd@sasktel.net or phone at 435-7578.
MS Arena Virtual Trophy Case
This project has been behind schedule due to some damage to equipment, however finally we expect it be installed this week. When up, it will be more than worth the wait as the two TVs will include pictures of trophies, Wall of Fame Members and pictures, all with QR codes that you can download on your phone. The second TV will include a listing of schedules and special events in and around Moosomin.
Dry ice surface bookings at MS Arena now open
If you would like to book the facility please call us at 435-3622 or email msmn.rec.brd@sasktel.net.
Community Gardens Opportunity
Town of Moosomin is currently accepting bookings for their 2024 Community Garden Program.
Prices include:
10x15 plots are $30
10x30 plots are $60
Garden boxes are $20
If you are interested in booking a plot or would like further information please contact s.krygertownofmoosomin@sasktel.net
Major Sponsorship Opportunity
Moosomin Parks and Recreation (Town of Moosomin) are currently looking for a feature sponsor for a new pickleball court. Terms, conditions and amounts negotiable.
This is a tremendous opportunity to play a major role in the recreation landscape in Moosomin. Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in both North America, Canada and dare I say, Moosomin, where club numbers have absolutely skyrocketed in the last year.
We are looking at two to four courts at Bradley Park situated between Elks Field, the playground, Golf World and Pharmasave Field—also close to REMAX Court where we have concession and public washroom facilities. We envision fenced courts covered in vines and treed along the outside border. It will be an amazing addition to the community and we know it will get a huge amount of usage. If you would like to further discuss this sponsorship opportunity, please call Mike at 435-3622 or you can email msmn.rec.brd@sasktel.net
Sportsplex Season
