Welcome to the State Park, where fun, fitness, and education come together!
Don’t miss our new summer classes, which are available during May 23—Aug 5!
● Swimming lessons: Age 4-adult. Cost: $5 per class or $15 for one month.
● Hiking: Have a park keeper hike with you through our paths and teach you about the park’s wildlife and plants. The park is a perfect spot for hiking.
● Soccer: Our youth soccer program is unusual and non-competitive. Different teams are formed every day. The focus is on each player learning to work as a team, not on one team winning it at all.
● Boating: These classes are only for 20-year-olds and above. Fishing is only allowed with a permit.
● Bicycling: We have special paths built for bicyclists. Signs are posted for self-guided tours of our park.
Group cycling is also available with a park guide. Paths range from easy to challenging.

Hiking paths! Sports fields! Playgrounds! Campgrounds! Fun activities! The State Park offers something for everyone.

Sign up for one of our new summer community classes, or take a camping trip with your friends or family. All the facilities here are set up with modern systems, so you don’t have to suffer while enjoying yourself—unless you want to!

【推荐3】Instead of paying to ship the items you don’t need to your new home, why not donate them? Your old household goods like furniture will go to a new home where they will be appreciated. Here are some charities that might help.
Furniture Bank Network
Furniture Bank Network helps people furnish their homes with practical secondhand items donated by people within the community. Tax receipts for the value of the donated items are given to donors (捐赠者). Recipients get the furniture for free. People can get furnishings from their local Furniture Bank only if they are referred to the organization through one of its social service partners.

Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity is a global non-profit. It collects monetary donations to build and remodel affordable housing so that those in need can apply for it. You can also donate furniture and other household goods to Habitat for Humanity. It resells these items in home improvement stores and uses the money to fund its humanitarian efforts.
Goodwill
Goodwill resells donated furniture and other household items to fund its charitable objectives. Goodwill uses its earnings to provide career training and employment assistance for unemployed individuals. It also offers discounts to the people enrolled in its training programs, allowing them to affordably furnish their homes and buy clothes for their families.
PickUpMyDonation.com
PickUpMyDonation.com isn’t actually a donation center and it doesn’t pick up your donations. Instead, it helps you find local non-profits and charity shops that do.
