  • Camp Harding Park

Although we are working hard to complete construction on the park bathrooms, they are not yet available for use at several parks. However, we have made alternative arrangements to ensure that park-goers have access to restroom facilities. Port-a-pots are currently available at the following parks:
  • Doubs Woods
  • Marty Snook
  • Pleasant Valley
  • Regional Park
We understand the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience as we work to complete the bathroom construction as quickly as possible.
In addition, we are excited to announce that we will be installing new playground equipment at Devils Backbone and Doubs Woods in the near future. We look forward to providing even more opportunities for outdoor play and recreation in our parks.
To make your park experience even better, we’re excited to launch our brand-new interactive County Parks map! With the help of our Parks & Rec, GIS, and PR departments, we’ve created a user-friendly map that makes it easy to explore all of our beautiful parks and recreational areas. From playgrounds to pickleball, and picnic areas to hiking trails, our map has got you covered.
We hope that this new tool will make it easier for you to enjoy the natural beauty of our county and stay active and healthy. Visit our website to try out the new map and discover all the outdoor adventures waiting for you in our county parks!
