Railyard Park
The Railyard Park offers a children’s play area, unique gardens for relaxation and reflection, and numerous trails for strolling and exploring. Nestled within ten acres of natural beauty, the Railyard Park is a versatile space, perfect for private celebrations and special public events.
Private Celebrations
The Community Picnic Circle and the three Small Picnic Areas (A-C) provide tables, seating and barbecue grills for Private Celebrations such as your family reunion, birthday party or class get-together and can be reserved separately. For larger private celebrations, if available, the Community Picnic Circle and Small Picnic area-A may be reserved together.
**Please note: Events of 25 people or more require a permit to use any area of The Railyard Park. If your group is smaller than 25, you are still welcome to reserve an area, which will guarantee your desired area date and time. All areas are available on a first come first serve basis for groups under 25. If another private celebration or public event is permitted for the space you will be asked to leave.
