Fall is in full swing at Village Park! Be sure to stop by the beautifully decorated gazebo for the perfect autumn photo opportunity with family and friends.

A huge thank you to our generous donors for the hay bales provided by Jamie Timberlake and pumpkins from Ashley Duke with Faithful Farms, as well as to our decorator, Wendy of Total Terror, for helping make this festive community space possible. Your support helps create special places for everyone to enjoy this season!

Come out, snap some fall photos, and enjoy all the seasonal charm right here in our community. 🍁
