WATERTOWN & MAYER
COMMUNITY GUIDE 2024
Watertown offers small-town charm
Welcome to Watertown ! For generations people have been drawn to our community because of the natural beauty , vast natural resources , and vibrant local economy . We are known for a great school system , the Luce Line Trail , the Crow River , a farmers ’ market featuring local vendors , parks with playgrounds , good roads , safe neighborhoods and caring people . These are a just few things that make Watertown special .
Add in a vibrant arts and entertainment community that promotes plays , concerts , performances , and other events at the Performing Arts Center , and there is always something happening . Or , if sports is more your thing , you can take in an amateur baseball game at Highland Park , home of the Watertown Red Devils of the Crow River Valley baseball league .
Our community prides itself in our small town charm and sense of community which is showcased every year during Rails to Trails ; our annual celebration held July 26 and 27 , with live music , a classic car
show , a 5K fun run , fireworks , and the hunt for the Golden Spike .
The city has a fairly low crime and peaceful neighborhoods thanks to our diligent first responders , well-trained fire department and courageous police force and have built a close relationship with Watertown-Mayer Public Schools to provide dynamic community education programming that draws hundreds of participants each year .
Plus , the city partners closely with Carver County to offer services through the Watertown Public Library ; which was remodeled in 2013 to include a technology lab . Our library is a gathering place year long , offering activities for all ages .
We enjoy this quality of life while being one of the most affordable communities in Carver County . But don ’ t take my word for it , please come visit . Whether you ’ re looking for a place to visit , live or build a business , know that you are welcome in Watertown !
