Hillside Park

Hillside Park is located on Squak Mountain and home to both Upper and Lower Cemeteries. The 44-acre park is mostly forested with an open, grassy 2-acre area that serves as a neighborhood park. The site currently contains a backstop, picnic tables, trash cans and trails, and is the City's only "walk-in" park.

In 2014, public engagement identified the need for this park to have a play area. We are taking the feedback received in 2014 and using is as the starting point for completing these play area improvements.
