“Come enjoy our city tax-supported park. Play on our Evos structure, climb the rock wall, and teeter-totter on our seesaws – all our newest playground equipment. The numerous tall shade trees make a great place to picnic in one of our shelters. The park is located on Spring Street. We invite everyone to come enjoy the park!”

The City also maintains another park area that has a swimming pool as well as a basketball court and a sand volleyball court.

The American Legion also has a baseball field that is operated in conjunction with Summer Recreation.
