This summer has been busy, between cleaning up parks from ice damage, then flooding to the addition of the new Douds shelter, new online reservation system, Morris tile building and many other upkeep and repairs.  But the weather is starting to change and the beautiful fall colors will be here before we know it!

Our thanks to the many volunteers of the different parks that help with improvements.  
The Bentonsport Rose Garden volunteers have put not only money, but over 200 hours of volunteering,  to clean up from the ice damage and then again after the flood went through.  
Morris Park committee has also been very active in volunteering their time and raising money to help improve the park.

We appreciate all past and present volunteers. 
Anyone that wishes to volunteer with a particular park or in general, please contact the office at 319-293-3589
