Dear Oshkosh Recreation Program Participants and Families,
As you may know, tomorrow (Tuesday, April 1) is the vote on our school district's facilities referendum. I wanted to highlight how this affects our Recreation Department.
If approved, the referendum would:
Create a new Recreation Department facility at the current Perry Tipler Middle School site
Close (and seek to sell) our current aging downtown recreation center
Provide modern, accessible spaces for community recreation programs
Please know that all of our current programming will continue! This new location would offer improved facilities for our programs while creating better coordination with our school-based activities.
You can learn more about the referendum at https://www.oshkosh.k12.wi.us/referendum-2025.
If you haven’t already voted, please be sure to vote tomorrow! Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, April 1. Find your polling place and other voting-related information at myvote.wi.gov/en-us/Find-My-Polling-Place.
Thank you,
Kabel Helmbrecht
Director of Recreation
Oshkosh Recreation Department
