Park Use Notes: There are many morning and early evening fitness users walking the trail and main road, and there are a large contingent of tennis and Pickleball players who play in the early mornings. Little League T-Ball games are played during the weekday evenings and on Saturdays at the park. Lunchtime is a very busy time at the park, especially on weekdays, as folks will come to enjoy lunch near the water. When the pool is in operation, families enjoy purchasing lunch, drinks, snacks, etc. The playground tends to be busy at lunchtime and in the afternoon hours. When programming is scheduled at the park, there can be good crowds; this includes Storytime hours, arts and crafts programs, and special events when scheduled (ex.: Summer Shakespeare Festival, Pickleball Scrambles). We also handle many pavilion rentals during the summer months, and they mostly fall on the weekends; sometimes we’ll host weekday pavilion rentals to visiting schools, parks and recreation departments, and summer camps. Proposals received after 12 PM on December 31, 2025, may be considered, but there is no guarantee. The City reserves the right to accept and/or reject all proposals. We look forward to receiving your proposal!
