The mission of the Redwood Falls Parks and Recreation Department is to provide quality facilities and programs
for all. Quality Parks and Recreation Programming enhances economic development, community crime prevention,
and adds to the quality of life for ALL residents and visitors of the community.
We would like to achieve a “community climate” of personal wellness, and mutual respect. Community facilities
and parks are used by citizens of all ages participating in meaningful recreation activities. Facilities are well cared
for due to a systematic plan for immediate care and crucial long-term maintenance. All citizens will be welcomed and
encouraged to utilize the park system and participate in the City Recreation programs.
All refunds will be subject to a $5.00 administrative fee. The registrant will be responsible to cover the cost of a
t-shirt (only if a t-shirt has already been ordered for that activity) in addition to the administrative refund fee. After an
activity has started, no refund will be issued. No credits will be issued for any activity. The Recreation Department
reserves the right to cancel any program or activity due to insufficient enrollment or inclement weather. If a program is
cancelled due to low enrollment or inclement weather, a full refund check will be mailed to you. To receive information
about program changes or cancellations due to inclement weather, please listen to KLGR, call the Weather Hotline
644-2335, or call the Redwood Area Community Center at 644-2333.
