Write your dreams on these lanterns then release along the pond. Games, smores, foodtrucks, and more!
Lantern Fest
Once the sun sets, come out for a beautiful night releasing Wish lanterns on our pond. These lanterns represent life and new beginnings so write your hopes, goals, or dreams and then release it onto the water.
Before the lantern releases, enjoy sitting around the fire, grabbing a snack at our food trucks, decorating your lantern, making a s'more, participating in a scavenger hunt, and listening to music by the pond. A nighttime event that is fun for all ages!
Bring a chair to enjoy a night in the park and see all of the hope, peace, and magic that will surround you.
Limited to the first 300 people, must register to receive a lantern.
26 acres of park land around the Washington Township Recreation Center - used extensively for outdoor programs, youth sport leagues, summer camps and the Woodland Lights program.
