For the second year in a row, Washington Township will be opening the Parks that surround Municipal Campus to that popular wintertime sport of cross country skiing. Due to the generosity and abilities of Nate Latimer, we will have professionally groomed ski trails for all to enjoy. Nearly 90 arces of encompassing Wainer, Inspiration and Veterans Memorail Parks will made available for all to enjoy. We ask that you respect the groomed trails and use them only for thier intended purpose. To keep this groomed areas in top condition is no easy task and with  your cooperation we maintain them all to enjoy. We also now have a designated sledding area for the kids to enjoy. If you turn left at the entrance to Engine House 39 and pass between the two poles with skis mounted on them, you will find at the top of the hill a parking area that is beside the sledding hill. This hill we get some grooming attention too, so the kids and have a winter blast of thier own. Please spread the word and let everyone know that wintertime recreation is available in Washington Township. Brind your fat tire bike, your snow shoes and give them a go as well. Rumor has it that bald eagle nest in somewhere in the Parks and would make for great adventure on its own. Let us know  what you think of this growing park area and stop in the Engine House afterwards to support our local volunteer fire deparment.   Day of skiing, a good meal and great friends, yes good things are happening in Washington Township.
