Commons Park is our largest park and the location of the majority of our events and programs. The original 20 acres were purchased with help from a LWCF grant in 1976. In 1994, utilizing another matching LWCF grant, an additional 80 acres was purchased to make Commons Park just over 100 acres. Commons Park features a large 15 year old community built wooden playground, five pavilions, a bandstand, basketball court, volleyball courts, horse shoe pits, a soccer field, 3 ball fields, 3 handicapped accessible restrooms and our office/maintenance building. We also have a couple permanent grills, a swing set, and many picnic and relaxing sites with tables and benches. This park also hosts a ½ mile paved walking trail in conjunction with the newly finished portion of the Steuben County trail system. Within Commons Park there are also grass nature trails, an archery range, a small wetland with a wildlife overlook, a natural spring with a deck. An abundant array of wildlife can be seen in these areas.
