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 306–435–7578.
Mike Schwean Arena
winter season comes to an end
It has been another unbelievable year at the MS Arena. I honestly do not think there is a busier rink in rural Saskatchewan. In the end we ran for 28 weeks with the season culminating with a:
Big Six Senior Hockey Championship
U18 MHL 2nd Place Finish
U15 MHL Championship
U13 MHL B Side Championship
That will go down as one of the most successful seasons in several years! Thank you to all our patrons over the past seven months. It’s time to enjoy a wonderful summer and then we can wait to have you all back in October of 2024!
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.
Thank you to Home Team Live
Moosomin Parks and Rec would like to extend a thank you to HomeTeam Live, our live game provider at the MS Arena. They have been fantastic to work with all season and we look forward to continuing our partnership in 2024/2025 and beyond!
Community Gardens Opportunity

10x15 plots are $30
10x30 plots are $60

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 306–435–3622 or you can email msmn.rec.brd@sasktel.net
Moosomin 2024 Iron Man
Another Iron Man has come and gone. It was another epic affair with several teams in the running late into Saturday night. In the end, the Ding Dongs repeated as champions, winning both 2023 and 2024. Second place went to a perennial powerhouse in the Moosomin Leafs. Up–and–comers are the Moosomin Mustangs who finished third for the second consecutive year. Thanks to all the teams for participating. It was too much fun to remember and we can’t wait for 2025!
