Year-Round Recreation in the Village of Foremost
The Village of Foremost has plenty to offer for recreation all year round!
In the warmer months, enjoy a round of golf on our challenging nine-hole course or take a peaceful stroll along our scenic walking path. A new multi-sport court at the school provides space for both tennis and basketball, and our outdoor pool is the perfect way to cool off during the summer heat.
Love to fish? You'll find great fishing at the Foremost Dam, conveniently located beside the Wayside Campground and Park.
When winter rolls around, Foremost comes alive with ice sports — including curling, hockey, and figure skating. And for outdoor enthusiasts, our wide-open prairie landscape offers endless opportunities for winter recreation and adventure.
