Equipment Sign Out

A free service to park users evenings and weekends is recreational equipment for their use (There is no equipment sign out during Pop Warner Football games). Equipment that is available consists of: tennis racquets, basketballs, volleyballs, soccer balls, football and horseshoes (metal and rubber depending on age).

Park Rules

A complete set of park rules are located in the main bulletin board (located in the breezeway by the restrooms), but there are “special area” bulletin boards on the Tennis Courts, Basketball Court, Soccer Field and playground, listing site specific rules. Overall, all rules are for the safety and good of all park users. It is the job of our park attendants to enforce them. Two major rules that we particularly stress are: DOGS MUST BE ON LEASHES and NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED. There is No Smoking allowed at the playground, pavilions, community room, soccer or football fields, water mister or on the basketball or tennis courts. There are designated areas for smoking. Rules are reviewed and approved annually.

During the winter months – there is NO SNOWMOBILING ALLOWED at the Park at anytime!

Bulletin Board

This is located in the breezeway near the public restrooms. On it, is information in regards to programs, schedules, calendars for use of the ball fields and pavilion and any other pertinent information.

Park Attendant

Evenings and weekends, there is a park attendant on duty. The responsibility of this person is to oversee the activities and facilities, enforce rules and regulations, hand out equipment, resolve problems, etc. If at any time that you are using the park and you have a problem, please contact the park attendant.

Park Closes: November to Mid-April (weather permitting) during these months the park is winterized and closed
