Arena Activities:  The arena houses a regulation indoor ice rink and is home to several youth hockey and high school boys & girls hockey teams.  The arena has ice from mid-October through mid-March.  The bleacher area is heated during hockey events making it comfortable for spectators.  The Arena can be rented for activities such as car shows, auctions, class reunions, school events, etc.  Members can also rollerblade in the arena during the non-ice season.

Park Rental:  The City of Le Sueur has two beautiful parks that can be rented.  Both park shelters have a kitchenette area with running water and restrooms.  Weekends at the parks book up fast, stop at the Community Center today to reserve the park for your activity.  The shelters at Mayo Park and Legion Park may be reserved for a fee of $25.00 by stopping at the Community Center between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:00 pm.  The shelters may be reserved from Memorial Day weekend through fall park shut-down (when the water is turned off, usually around November 1st).  Reservations will be honored in the order they are made.  Reservations will be taken beginning January 1st of each year.  Standing reservations for yearly events (ie. family reunions) will not be accepted.  The shelters are available for usage without a reservation or fee if it has not been reserved by a fee paying group.  Parks are open from 7:00 am to 10:30 pm.  Curfews will be enforced.

American Legion Park is located on Ferry Street.  The Outdoor Pool is part of the park area.  The shelter is a great place to have your picnic after enjoying the outdoor pool and playground.

Mayo Park is located just north of Le Sueur near the Highway 169 exit ramp.  It is off the beaten path and offers a peaceful setting with georgeous plants and shrubs.  Mayo Park has a volleyball court,horseshoe pit and a disc golf course.

Educational Services:
The Le Sueur Community Center works closely with area schools. Schools use the facility for physical education classes, team sports and extracurricular activities. Schools also use the Center for parties and rewards for students.

Other Services & Benefits:
The goal of the Le Sueur Community Center is to provide as many services for as many members of the community as possible within our operating budget. We are fortunate to have a place for people of all ages to enjoy physical activity as participants and spectators.
