Centerville Park Programs 2011/2012 2011 has been an excellent year for Centerville Parks and Recreation. Budgets are spiraling downward, while participation in park activities has increased. In this challenging budgetary environment, with strong community support and through generous donations, sponsorships and volunteers, Centerville's Parks and Recreation Committee has continued to improve park facilities and activities. The 2011 Fete des Lacs celebration included the traditional parade, fireworks, 3` Annual 8K Run/Walk, inaugural 10 mile in -line skate and an inaugural FREE 'h mile kids run. The 2012 Fete des Lacs City Celebration, following a similar format, is scheduled for the weekend of July 27 -29. MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

You can take a walk down Main Street (CSAH14) and visit the Centennial Fire Station's open house. Softball and Kickball tournaments take place throughout the weekend, along with children activities, and usually a street dance sponsored by the local Lions Club.
