ReGear: Sports Swap & Sale is your chance to refresh your sports equipment while giving your old gear a second life! Hosted by the DeForest Recreation and Community Enrichment Department, this community-driven event makes it easy to trade, sell, or donate gently used sports equipment. Whether your kids have outgrown their cleats, you’re looking for a new set of golf clubs, or you just want to clear out some space, ReGear is the perfect opportunity to exchange gear and connect with fellow athletes and families. Join us in making sports more accessible, affordable, and sustainable for everyone!
