WELLS RECREATION DEPARTMENT:
The Wells Parks & Recreation Department offers a variety of recreational programs for community members of all ages. Some of the more popular programs include Summer Day Camp for grades K-9, swim lessons for youth, youth sports such as soccer, basketball, T-ball, lacrosse, gymnastics, archery, karate, track and field, and tennis. Other non-sport related classes include dance, arts & crafts, mad science, yoga, cooking, and preschool programs.
There are also special events and school vacation field trips offered. The Recreation Department offers a Haunted Halloween Hayride, Visit Santa Night, Santa calling, and an Easter Egg Hunt. In the winter, snowshoes and cross country skis are available to rent. An ice skating pond is maintained at the recreation park on Rte 9A throughout the winter along with some beautiful trails for skiing and snowshoeing.
The Recreation Park consists of 70 acres which include nature trails, soccer fields, softball field, playground, four tennis courts, two basketball courts, picnic area, and horseshoe pits. Public bathrooms are open May through October. The tennis courts are also available for use May through October. Because the tennis courts are maintained by user fees, there is a policy to purchase tennis keys for the season. Keys may be purchased at the Wells Parks & Recreation Department office during office hours.
The Recreation Department is always looking for new programs to offer to the community. If you have any interest or special talents and you would like to offer a program, please contact Tina LeBlanc, Recreation Department Director, at 646-5826. Many of the programs rely on volunteerism such as the sports programs and special events to help make them successful. The Recreation Department appreciates all the volunteers and is always looking for more. If you are interested in helping with any programs, please call.
