Parks
We understand how important parks are for our community, providing a space for relaxation and recreation. We're excited to announce that a new park will be opening at the Medlake Ball Park in spring 2025. Along with this, we will be renovating the walking path around the park to create a more enjoyable experience for everyone. We look forward to seeing you all there!
Raynor Park
Raynor Park, nestled in the heart of the Park Layne subdivision, serves as the proud home of the Wee Arrows Football team and hosts a variety of other engaging activities. The park offers playground equipment for young children, recently paved basketball courts, and a shelter house for your enjoyment.
Crystal Lake Park
Crystal Lake Park is situated at the junction of Forest and Park in the Crystal Lake area. This small park features a beautiful gazebo, making it the perfect spot for gathering a few friends to play cards or simply enjoy the tranquility.
Donnelsville Park
Donnelsville Park, located at 205 North Hampton Rd and nestled beside Donnels Creek, is a thriving hub for the local community. Home to the Donnelsville baseball team, the park boasts two well-maintained baseball diamonds, a convenient shelter house, playground equipment for small children, and a cozy cabin complete with a full kitchen and restrooms. It serves as an excellent venue for hosting small gatherings and events.
Medlake Park
Medlake Park is situated at 11200 Gerlaugh Rd. and is adjacent to the Bethel Township Community Center. It's a spacious park with a walking path that connects Park Layne to Crystal Lake. The park features 5 ball diamonds with a couple of fields using red dirt #3. Ball games are scheduled to start in May and conclude in June. This park allows your furry friend to accompany you, provided that you adhere to the rules and clean up after your dog.
We are thrilled to announce that we have acquired a new building for Medlake Ball Park. The building is expected to be delivered in March and will be ready for opening day. LET'S PLAY BALL!
