Our Community
Oskaloosa & Mahaska County
The Mahaska Community Recreation Foundation (MCRF) is proud to call Oskaloosa and Mahaska County home. Our community is built on small-town values, big opportunities, and a shared commitment to recreation, wellness, and connection.
From the historic charm of downtown Oskaloosa to the natural beauty of the Mahaska Community Recreation Trail and local parks, our area offers residents and visitors countless ways to stay active, engaged, and inspired. Families enjoy year-round youth sports, outdoor adventures, and cultural experiences that highlight the rich history and vibrant spirit of Mahaska County.
At MCRF, we believe recreation is more than just activities—it’s about bringing people together. By partnering with local schools, businesses, nonprofits, and community members, we’re helping shape a healthier, stronger, and more connected Mahaska County for all generations.
Whether you’re cheering on a ballgame at the Lacey Complex, exploring the trail system, or discovering unique local attractions, you’ll find that Oskaloosa and Mahaska County are places where community thrives.
