Recreation is for Everyone Scholarship Information

The City of Sun Prairie Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department and Parks, Recreation and Forestry Commission believe that everyone, regardless of circumstance, should be able to participate in City-sponsored recreation opportunities.  We also believe in the reduction of barriers for those experiencing a financial hardship.  Our scholarship program has been established to offer programs and services at a reduced rate. Our process for applying has been updated with the intent to create an easy, streamlined, “no questions asked” process to access SPPRF programs.
