While it has been over 130 years since Arbor Day was founded, the simple idea of setting aside a special day for tree planting is now more important than ever. On Friday, May 9th Germantown Kids Klub spent several hours planting trees at Friedenfeld Park. Over 50 participants ages 5-12 took part in the event. The kids spent time planting crab apple & maple trees as well as participating in a forestry class instructed by Park & Recreation Commission Member, Mary Ellen Gray. The Recreation Department and the Kids Klub Program felt that it was important to do their part to help plant trees that will last generations. For additional information on volunteer opportunities you can take part in contact the Recreation Department Office at 250-4710.

As of right now the number of households that can register online at one time is limited to 10. When this issue is resolved we will update this site.
If you continue to have issues please contact the office so we can assist you. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

The Park and Recreation Department is beginning the process of updating the 5 year comprehensive plan. The purpose of the comprehensive planning process is to generate goals and objectives to improve parks and recreation services in the Village of Germantown. The first step of the planning process was to mail 1,000 surveys to randomly selected Germantown residents.
Why do a survey? With the growing population of the Village of Germantown, the Germantown Park and Recreation Department wants to ensure that the residents recreational needs are being met. The best way to determine if those needs are being met is to ask a sampling of the total population.
If you were one of the recipients we would greatly appreciate your time in completing the survey.
