⛳ A Little TLC for the Greens at Washington Park! 🌿

Our crew is hard at work top dressing the greens at Deer Run to help keep them in great shape!

🏌️‍♂️ The greens will be ready for golfers to enjoy again tomorrow, October 23rd!

If you haven't made it out to Washington Park for a round of golf this year, you're missing out! ☀️⛳

Our parks crew has been doing a fantastic job maintaining the course, and their hard work truly shows! 👏

Grab your clubs, enjoy the beautiful fall weather, and come see what Washington Park has to offer!

🍂🍁Fall is in the Air, and Winter is on the Way!🍁🍂

The seasons are changing, the leaves are falling, and the temperatures are getting colder! As we prepare for the winter months, the restrooms at the City Park and Washington Park will be closing for the season beginning October 25, 2026, to protect plumbing from freezing temperatures. ❄️

🚻 But don't worry! Portable restrooms will still be available for park visitors throughout the winter months.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we prepare our parks for the colder weather.

🍁 Thank you for helping us keep our parks beautiful and welcoming all year long! We hope you continue to get outside and enjoy everything our parks have to offer! 🍂

🚲🔧 We’re excited to share a new addition to our community!
Thanks to the hard work and dedication of Eagle Scout Zoe Tuttle of Troop 276, our community now has a bicycle repair station to help cyclists make quick repairs and get back on the trail! This project is a wonderful way to support outdoor recreation and make our parks and trails even more enjoyable for everyone.
A big thank you to Zoe for choosing a project that will benefit our community for years to come. Congratulations on this incredible Eagle Scout achievement! 👏
