Huge shoutout to Troop #15! 👏 Scouting America members recently completed an incredible Eagle Scout project at Timberland Park, giving some much-needed care to the Nancy Conway Trail—our longest trail and a main access route through the park.

The troop worked hard to repair trail damage caused by fallen trees and erosion, making foot traffic smoother and safer for everyone heading out for a hike. Thank you, Troop #15, for helping us keep our parks beautiful and accessible! 🥾🌲

In Observance of Labor Day, today, September 7th, our main facilities will be open 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Weather permitting, our Outdoor Pools/Splash Parks will be open 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Our Nature Parks will be open regular hours.
