Weekend Brings A Little Sparkle And A Lot of Winter Magic In The Park

  • Out of town visitors and local families lined up throughout the afternoon for a chance to ride around the Wessington Springs City Park in style. Phil Wipf and AJ Karsky led the wagon team of Prince and Chet, who had a very busy afternoon along the trails.

  • While some children donned ice skates and others glided along the ice pond in their snow boots, it was clear that everyone taking part enjoyed Saturday’s event.

    “Winter Magic in the Park” evoked a captivating Christmas sparkle at the Field House and along the trails at the Wessington Springs City Park with horse-drawn wagon rides, hot cider, ice skating and live music. The event served as a kick off for Wessington Springs Winter Park Activities, which continues to offer family-friendly activities that utilize our city park year-round.

    Making memories in the out-of-doors provides community connections and wellness activities in what can be some of the most difficult months of the year here in South Dakota. With hopes for snow and a busy season in the park, volunteers are always welcome.
