THE WINTERWEST EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED

 

WinterWest is back for its sixth year at Richmond Park from February 12th and 13th, 2016.

WinterWest is a celebration of winter in West Michigan, providing and raising awareness about recreational and community-building activities for families occurring throughout the cold weather months. This three day event has gained an impressive reputation in our community and serves as one of the premier opportunities for neighbors both old and new to mingle. WinterWest transforms Richmond Park into a wonderland of fun and learning, and highlights many natural assets including the park pond, sledding hill, and lodge. In addition to providing the Crazy Cardboard Sled competition for adults and kids and a warming shelter with drinks and games, WGRD will also host the Pond Hockey Classic!
