NOTICE: Jordan Creek Park will undergo a paving project throughout the month of April. The work will include repaving the main entrance, paths leading to the bridge, the walkway near the restrooms and the area just past Adventure Play. During this time, paving equipment will remain on site and occasional lane closures at the entrance may be necessary.

All programs, rentals and events will continue as scheduled. There should be no impact on your reservation or participation — we simply want to make you aware that the area may look a bit cluttered while the work is underway.

Thank you for your patience as we make these improvements!
