The Lysander Parks & Recreation Department hopes you find this website to be informative and useful when planning your recreational activities. The Town also publishes three Parks & Recreation brochures via the website. You can find these in the notices section below.

Fall-early September
Winter/Spring-mid December
Summer/Day Camp-early May

Prior to the winter spring brochure of 2010/11, brochures were distributed to the elementary and middle schools, banks, library and Town Hall. In an effort to be conscious of our environment and our budget, we have gone “Green”. This means you should keep your eye out on the website, in the local paper (Messenger), on b-ville.com, etc. for details on upcoming programs. If you would like to receive an email notice of when the brochure is available on line, then send an email to recreation@townoflysander.org and in the subject line put: program email list. Registration forms are also available below – you can fill them out on the form, save to you computer and email (if using MasterCard or discover) or print off and mail.

The Parks & Recreation Department is advised by the Lysander Parks & Recreation Commission. The Commission is always looking for ideas about new programs, please call or email your suggestions.

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
