Wooddell Park is now open for the season. Town parks are equipped with video surveillance. All parks and walking trails in town are trash-free. Visitors are to put litter they generate in trash bags and carry it home. This will improve the appearance of parks and trails by removing trash cans that detract from the beauty of the environment. Heavy rains the past several months have caused water to accumulate around the playground equipment; the town crew will remediate this once the area has dried enough to get equipment in.
