A Winter Pastime
At Hoyt Park, winter becomes a season of connection and creativity. The Saginaw Outhouse Races began over a decade ago as a small grassroots challenge and have grown into a festival where families, local businesses, and thrill-seekers come together to enjoy snow, laughter, and playful ingenuity. From handcrafted ski-mounted outhouses to community sledding hills, this tradition shows how urban parks and shared outdoor spaces can foster joy, resilience, and a sense of belonging even in the coldest months.
