As we get used to our new pavilion, please be aware of the following:

*Please exercise caution around our newly planted planters on the periphery of the pavilion.

*The large tree structure that we call the "elf house" located near the top of the central trail is made of concrete,
with a plexiglass roof, and is actually a storage shed for garden tools.
It is not a climbing structure.
Please do not allow children to climb that structure
for fear of falling, or falling through (It is locked on the outside).

*The birdbaths provide water for birds and small mammals, and
the park is a wildlife sanctuary, we take care of their habitat. 
Please do not allow kids to put rocks, sticks and dirt in the birdbaths.
It is not a sanitary place for kids to play.

*Above all, as a friendly reminder, it is important to supervise children at all times in the park,
so that everyone has a good time and stays safe. 

​*And, of course, please leave whatever area you use in at least as good shape as you found it.
​Good stewardship of our park will keep it safe and happy for everyone!
