🌞🌼☀️🌻 UPDATE SPRING/SUMMER PARK HOURS - Beginning today Tuesday, April 15 until Labor Day our parks are now open from 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM. 🌞🌼☀️🌻

While enjoying one of our parks, we ask that you remember some park basics:
- Please always follow all Parks & Recreation rules
- Be courteous to your fellow park users
- Please always keep your pet on a six-foot leash and always remember to pick up after them.
- Help us to protect our irreplaceable resources, including wildlife and scenery. Always make sure to follow the Leave No Trace principles, which include if you bring it in, take it out with you and dispose of your waste properly. Please make sure to take only pictures and memories and do not remove rocks, plants, and other natural objects.
- Respect the wildlife in parks by observing them from a distance. Also please respect sensitive areas that may be closed or have restrictions in place during mating, and nesting seasons.
