Summer’s heating up, and so is the fun at The Forks!
Get outside, get moving, and make some memories with free, family-friendly activities as part of the third-annual Play at The Forks!
Table tennis and basketball are back for another season around the CN Field and Stage. Pitikwe Skate Park is rolling out free skateboard lessons, and we’ve added some exciting new programming, including:
- Drop-in dance sessions with Dance with Genie
- Mushroom foraging adventures in the Public Orchard with River City Mushrooms
- Nature-based crafting with Next Door Neighbour Studio
Whether you’re trying something new or sticking to your favourites, there’s a little something for everyone this summer!
“Play at The Forks is all about bringing people together and getting them moving in fun, energizing ways,” says Sara Stasiuk, Chief Executive Officer, The Forks. “We love working with the larger Winnipeg community to provide these great experiences for our visitors.”
