Closed for Seasonal Maintenance

On occasion, a field or pavilion will be closed for seasonal maintenance. During this time, outdoor facilities are subject to turf maintenance practices, including field overseeing, aeration, irrigation and fertilization. Use of a particular sports field and pavilion during seasonal or spot maintenance will be posted as off-limits.

Youth Athletic Leagues

Independent sports leagues are organized and run by local volunteers to provide organized team sports play for local youth. Memorial Park co-sponsors youth sports activities with the leagues by maintaining facilities and supplying lighting but does not maintain equipment or supplies. Each league (not the Lewis County Conservation Board) determines its own rules for registration and play.

League Responsibilities

Athletic leagues' responsibilities may include recruiting and organizing quality coaches and volunteers, handling complaints about programs, soliciting sponsorships, monitoring bathrooms and concessions areas, communicating with coaches, underwriting program costs, providing equipment and uniforms, maintaining league equipment, administering personnel actions within the scope of league by-laws, and regulating practice times.

Park Responsibilities

Memorial Park is responsible for providing and maintaining facilities and grounds, providing utilities and operational support, resolving complaints about matters falling under the Parks responsibility and canceling games due to inclement weather.
