CARING FOR OUR PARKS AND FIELDS
|
The Town of Bethel administers and maintains approximately 400 acres of parks and open space for the enjoyment of the people of Bethel.
For the protection of our parks and park users, rules and regulations are administered by the Town and posted in most park areas. It is the responsibility of the park user or group to place all garbage in the dumpster before leaving. We hope you will enjoy the use of our facilities and cooperate in keeping these areas in their natural condition.
