The Great Outdoors
Sauerman Woods Park
Newly revitalized, Sauerman Woods Park is a great place to visit if you enjoy being outside.

It also has an open-air pavilion, a fishing pier, a boardwalk, and a walking trail. With so much to offer, this park is a great place to relax and reconnect with nature.

Bull Dog Park
This park has fun things to do all year long. Located West of downtown, Bull Dog Park has four community rooms, an open-air pavilion, two fire pits, and an amphitheater.
