Lynch's Woods Park will remain closed to vehicular traffic at this time. We are working with multiple departments/agencies to find a long term solution, so resources are allocated wisely.

For those curious, the gravel road that loops through the park is a one way road; therefore, it cannot be partially opened as there is not room for vehicles to travel in both directions. ALL TRAILS ARE OPEN! The main gate is open for those who need to park closer to the picnic shelter. The ADA (handicap accessible) trail is open at the front of the park with parking that leads directly to the trail.

If you are looking for a shorter, yet enjoyable trail, try the Kids in Parks Trail. It is a one mile trail that starts and ends in the picnic shelter area. The park is open from dawn (sunrise) to dusk (sunset).

Fall Soccer has come to an end and Fall Baseball and Softball is close. Here are some pictures to wrap up these seasons. Fall softball and baseball had a little fun this week in their Halloween costumes.

10U Baseball - sorry there are not more Halloween pictures...hard to umpire and take pics. 😉 It was a lot of fun though!

THANK YOU to the volunteer recreation soccer coaches who were able to be at Prosperity-Rikard Elementary School this morning bright and early to greet students as they entered the school.

These coaches either attended PRES, have children attending or had a child or children attend PRES. Either way we had a great morning getting to greet the students and even got to eat a delicious breakfast.

Thank you Prosperity-Rikard Elementary School for having us!

S'More Outdoors and Fairy House Building was a hit!

We had a great turnout on Friday, October 9, 2026 for our first ever Fairy House Building event at Lynch's Woods Park. There were 17 amazing Fairy Houses constructed. Awards were given for Master Forager (best use of natural materials), Little Sapling Award (best fairy house for ages 0 to 6), and Junior Gnome Builder (best fairy house for ages 7-12).

Families had 15 minutes to gather various natural materials and 30 minutes to build magnificent fairy structures using their imaginations. Some of the houses came with gardens, chimneys, a spiral staircase, couches, beds, and even a well house. Look closer if you can't see these things in the pictures 😉.

Each attendee went home with their very own S'more kit and the kids got a few Halloween goodies as well. This event was so much fun (and FREE), so we can't wait to offer it again next year.
