Centuria, WI

Centuria is a Polk County village along Wisconsin Highway 35 and County Road I, with the Gandy Dancer State Trail crossing through town on a former railroad corridor. The Wisconsin segment of the trail runs 47 miles through Centuria, Milltown, Luck, Frederic, Siren, and Webster before reaching the Minnesota border. That route preserves the transportation history of the area while giving the village a direct connection to a regional trail system.

Centuria’s ballpark sits beside the Gandy Dancer Trail and includes sheltered picnic tables, a playground, concession facilities, lighted horseshoe courts, and bathrooms. Summer ballpark events bring recreation into the same corridor used by cyclists and other trail users. The village’s parks rules also provide for organized activities and reservations, so the grounds function as a regular gathering place. The village hall handles reservations for park facilities and organized activities. Centuria is a Wisconsin village where a former rail line, a ballpark, and a north-south highway share the local map.
