People With Disabilities

Our parks and facilities are open to everyone, including people with disabilities. In fact, people with disabilities are encouraged to participate in the use of our facilities. Most of the facilities in the parks are designed to be accessible to all visitors. Going forward, the Beaver County Recreation and Tourism Department will ensure that all County Recreation Facilities are accessible to everyone. The Recreation Department believes this will benefit the entire community, not to mention the people who visit our parks.
 

Littering

You can aid greatly in keeping your Beaver County Parks clean and scenic. Litter barrels and recycling containers are located throughout the parks. Please take an additional minute and stash your trash. Tell others to do the same. Remember, these are your parks too!
 

If you see any vandalism occurring at our County parks, please report it immediately to the Beaver County Sheriff Department at 724-775-0880.
