Don’t forget to unwind and relax under the summer sky at our free Summer Concert Series every Thursday evening at Boardwalk Park, where you can enjoy a variety of musical performances by local and regional artists. Looking to have a movie night with family and friends? Come tune in with us for Movies at the Park on select Fridays for family-friendly movies at various parks around town. On Saturdays, explore fresh produce, handcrafted goods and delicious treats at the Farmers Market at Boardwalk Park. The Windsor History Museum is open for the summer, inviting you to explore Windsor’s rich history through interactive exhibits and historic buildings.

Stay active all summer long at the Community Recreation Center by working out in our state-of-the-art fitness center, taking a swim or joining a variety of group fitness classes. Explore Windsor’s Park system, with 27 parks scattered throughout town offering something for everyone to enjoy the outdoors. While some parks may

have construction zones as we make enhancements, we promise an even better park system for everyone to enjoy.

Looking to make a difference this summer? We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities for all ages and interests, from community events to volunteer days. So, grab your sunscreen, lace up your shoes, and get ready for a summer filled of adventures.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT

Historic Preservation of Historic Halfway Homestead

The Halfway Homestead project envisions the transformation of a historic building into a welcoming cultural center and community hub for residents and visitors. The upcoming work at the Historic Halfway Homestead includes the historic restoration of the 1873 Halfway House, the oldest structure in Windsor, and the rehabilitation of the 1905 Dickey Farmhouse.

The plans for these preservation projects were completed with support from the State Historical Fund and using guidance from the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Historic Preservation.

During the project, the Halfway House will be restored to look as it might have in the early 1800s to provide a “step back in time” for visitors. The Dickey Farmhouse will be rehabilitated to become a classroom and community gathering space.

BOWLING

Join us as we venture to Highland Park Lanes in Greeley for non-competitive, but hilariously fun bowling that works on basic skills, good sportsmanship, social interaction, and fun. All skill levels are welcome; adaptable to all. The price includes two games, shoe rental, and transportation from the CRC to the bowling alley and back.

MOVIE NIGHT OUT

Lights! Camera! Action! Join us for some entertainment on the big screen! The price includes a movie ticket and transportation. Bring some extra cash for snacks, if desired. The selected movie will be G-PG13. Actual movie titles and approximate departure time will be determined closer to the event date.

SOCIAL RECREATION

DINNER NIGHT OUT

You choose the restaurant! Treat yourself to delicious food and fantastic company. Participants are responsible for bringing money for their own meal, including tip. We recommend bringing $25. Don’t miss out on the fun!
