A huge THANK YOU to the Carthage Lions Club and other volunteers who made quick work spreading a semi load of shavings around the park yesterday. We ran a little short and will be getting more shavings so watch for another work day soon. The Lions Club also relaid all the bricks around the shelter house. Thank you again!

Tomorrow morning the Lions Club will be at the WOW Park doing some repairs to some of the bricks around the shelter house and spreading some much needed wood chips on the playground. If you are interested in helping volunteer some of your time in the morning please come to the park with rakes, gloves, etc. Someone will be working all morning more than likely so come whenever you can. Thanks in advance for any help you can give and a huge THANK YOU to the Lions Club. They do so much for our community and it is definitely appreciated!

Thank you to everyone who has notified us about the vandalism at the park. Needless to say we are disappointed that this has happened since it was 4 years ago this week the park was rebuilt. We have noticed spray paint around the shelter house, words and scribbling written on some of the play equipment and boards. We do have some broken bricks around the shelter house as well. The police have been notified and will be patrolling the area more. If you are visiting the park and notice anyone doing something they shouldn't, please say something to them or feel free to call the local police. Thanks in advance for your help as we would like to keep this beautiful park looking nice for years to come for young children to enjoy.

Thank you to the two groups of volunteers we had working at the park this week spreading wood chips. Last Sunday volunteers from Burnside Christian Church came as the church was doing various community service projects in the area. Friday Carthage Middle School did community service projects and the 5th grade was at the park. We still have more wood chips to spread and some maintenance to do so please watch for an upcoming WOW Park work day.

Just a reminder if you are heading to the park while school is out. The bathrooms at the park are still closed due to the colder days we still have. Please do not go next door to the school district office as they do not have a public restroom. Thank you!

Bathrooms are closed for the season. They were winterized a couple weeks ago. Thanks

If you are a school group or some other group planning to visit the park anytime soon please message the park page. We would like to have some sort of restroom option available for you if we can. Thanks

We are sorry to do this but the bathrooms at the park will be closed until further notice due to the disrespect people have had for the inside of them and the supplies inside. We can't keep them open and continuely have to clean up messes like this. Thank you for understanding.
