John W. Saunders Memorial Park

John W. Saunders Memorial Park is an ideal space for large gatherings as it houses 6 covered picnic shelters that are available for rent. The largest one holds up to 150 people with more than a dozen picnic tables and has its own designated restrooms. The other shelters hold two picnic tables each. Every shelter features electricity and a designated grill. A paved walking and nature trail leads from the largest shelter through a beautifully shaded wooded area. The park also boasts two regulation-sized outdoor basketball courts, a splash pad, a playground, and an amphitheater complete with electricity and stage lights that can seat hundreds of people. The shelters, amphitheater, and basketball courts are all available for rent through our main office.
