The village is divided by a canal and the only bridge, in the village centre, connects the two parts. Parrega has its own primary school. Most of the children of Parrega, Hieslum and Dedgum are educated at this school. There is also a Community Hall, including sports facilities, called the Gearhing.

History

Parrega was a fishing village, located east of the former Parregaaster Lake, which was reclaimed in 1879. Together with the nearby village of Hieslum it has a more-than-80-year-old Community Society and a 30-year-old village magazine (De Pinfisker).

Before 2011, the village was part of the Wûnseradiel municipality.

gollark: You could try making a nice UI to generate commands for it, as the CLI is kind of apioforms.
