Parks & Recreation Department

While our town is small, we strive to offer the best parks system possible to the residents of our community.  

South Park, located 2 blocks East of Casey's, has pavilions for picnics, a playground for the kids, a bandstand, and a full size outdoor basketball court.  The Smith Park complex on Highway 160 is home to our baseball fields, a small playground, our swimming pool, and our beautiful 9-hole golf course.  We also have our 3rd park located just west of Highway 97 on 1st Street.  This park offers a playground to the neighborhood as well as lots of green space for play!

You'll find more information on all our parks & facilities below.
