Mark December 4 on your calendar for WinterFest! While some things might look a little bit different as we work around construction, we will still get a visit from Santa and many of the activities we have all come to love. Will you be there?

Do you switch decorations right after Halloween or do you wait until after Thanksgiving? Either way, Santa is already making his list! He’s very busy this time of year, so he asked us to help send out his letters. Get your child a personalized letter from Santa himself at Waukee.org/Registration under the “Special Events” tab. Registration closes November 14.

As of today, November 2, plan to bring your own water and plan for alternative bathrooms when visiting our parks. Park staff will be turning off water to most park bathrooms and drinking fountains to prevent pipes from bursting when temperatures are below freezing. The family restrooms at Triumph Park remain open from 7 a.m.-6 p.m. year-round.

What is a trout’s favorite game? Salmon says! That one’s for you Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Monday’s Trick or Trout was fin-tastic! It’s always fascinating watching as all the trout pour into Triumph Park Pond while everyone patiently waits with hopes of catching a tagged fish.
