Eau Claire Parks and Recreation offers a Scholarship Program for families experiencing low-income. Scholarships can be used to reduce the cost of youth programs and pool passes.  Our Scholarship Program is made possible by the generosity of area businesses and community groups.  Contact the Recreation Office at 715-839-5032 if you're interested in donating to this program.
