BONFIRE & 3RD GRADE OPEN HOUSE NEXT FRIDAY!!!
The field program will start next week with a 3rd grade open house and bonfire NEXT Friday, 6/26! The full field program will start the following Monday, 6/29.
On next Friday, we will have a 3rd grade open house from 5:00-7:00 p.m. This is a time for incoming 3rd graders for the 2026-2027 school year to come to the fieldhouse with their parents and see what we have available to them and ask questions about the program. 3rd graders are old enough to come to the program for the first time, so we recommend for them and their parents to come visit us at the open house.
Then, from 7:00-10:00 p.m., we will have our annual summer kickoff bonfire! We will have music, games, smores and of course the bonfire. Parents and family members are welcome to attend as we kick off the summer in style!
*Please note that this event is for participants of the field program and their families and families that are interested in signing their children up. It is NOT open to the general public.
Please call/text Andrew at 716-753-6842 with any questions.

JOB SERVICE
Westfield residents needing help with cleanup of their yards and other odd jobs are asked to call the Westfield Recreation Department at 716-753-6842 (Andrew) and we will assist in arranging a local teen to help. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to find a worker, but we will do our best! We serve as a third party to set up the person who needs the work done with someone who can do it. We do not have any input on the payment process.
We are still in need of new teens for the job service. Most jobs are typically raking leaves, mowing grass, other yardwork, snow shoveling, etc. If interested, please call the Westfield Recreation Department at 716-753-6842 (Andrew).
