Reservations for our parks are now being taken. Due to the deterioration,
the old pavilion at Carronde Park is being removed as part of a program of park
improvements. It was decided at the Township Board meeting on April 4th to
leave the hexagonal pavilion, so reservations are being taken for only this one
pavilion at Carronde Park this year. See the link to the right for the
reservation form.
Eaton Park has two pavilions available, and, again as part of
our Parks Improvement Plan, we hope to have a pavilion ready for use this summer
at the Maiden Lane Park.
Dogs must be leashed and under control at all times in our
parks. Our parks are intended for the enjoyment of all visitors, and
many people are frightened of loose dogs. Additionally, uncontrolled
animals frighten off the wildlife that many visitors come to see while using our
nature trail parks. Please keep your dog leased, and remember to clean up
after it.
