It’s that time of year when the weather starts getting nice and residents
are getting out visiting the parks more. Please be sure to know and follow
all park rules and Township Ordinances. To highlight some: No alcohol
in any parks properties or facilities, all animals must be leashed and you
must pick-up after your pet. Picking up after your pet includes proper
disposal of the waste, leaving the bag along the trail or in the park is not
proper disposal. Please take the waste to the nearest trash receptacle.
These rules and ordinances exist to provide a safe and pleasurable
experience to our park users. We hope you enjoy your visit.
