The Anderson Township Park District wants you to have a safe and enjoyable visit. By following these common sense rules, you can help yourself have fun!!

General Tips

• Obey posted speed limits for your safety and that of other park patrons.
• Park in designated areas only. Please do not park along driveways.
• Prevent theft by locking your vehicles. Lock valuables in the trunk or leave them at home. Do not leave your purse or wallet on or under your car seat.
• Parks and playgrounds can be busy. Make sure you watch your children. Do not leave children unattended.
• Please help your pets enjoy their visit to the parks by keeping them on a leash at all times. (Dogs may be unleashed in the Kellogg Dog Field with a permit).
• Guard against sunburn and long-term effects of skin cancer by using a PABA sunscreen or wearing a hat and loose-fitting clothing.
• During oppressively hot and muggy days, avoid unnecessary exposure to heat and drink plenty of water.

Safe Walking­ and Jogging

• Be aware of your surroundings at all times.
• Walk confidently.
• Look people in the eye as you pass them. This lets others know that you are aware of their presence.
• Wear shoes and clothing that allow freedom of movement.
• Don’t wear headphones while exercising. Being able to hear your surroundings will allow you to notice someone you don’t see.
• Carry a cell phone

Hike/Bike Trail Etiquette

• Be considerate of others.
• All trail users keep to the right and precede single file around blind turns.
• Everyone should give an audible warning before passing others.
• Use authorized trails. Respect closures.
• Dogs must be on a leash and should be reined into within four feet when approaching another person. Remove defecation and properly dispose.
