If you’re planning to climb to the top of the hills be sure to be careful and dress accordingly.

If heights or climbing aren’t your jam, stay along shore at the grounds East Beach and West Beach.

There’s plenty of other fun summer adventures and facilitates to get up to and use at Sand Hill Park including a basketball court, volleyball court, snack bar, band shell, shuffleboard, horseshoes, craft and activity barn, BMX track and playground.

During the months of July and August the park is open from 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM.
