PARK HIGHLIGHT – HUNT CLUB PARK
This month’s Park Highlight is all about Hunt Club Park! Hunt Club Park, located off of Hunt Club Road, offers plenty of ways to stay busy all year long! Take a stroll down the paved trail system, which covers more than a mile of twists and turns around the park’s most stunning views. Or, play the day away at the mud-free playground! During the warmer months, you can also pass the time reeling in a large bass or bluegill at the fishing pond.
No matter the season, Hunt Club Park is a great place to be!
