  Q.)  When are the parks open?
  A.)  All County Parks are open 7 days a week, 365 days a year, from sunrise to sunset.

  Q.)  Can I reserve park facilities for my outing?
  A.)  Yes and No.
       We now provide a calendar for each park to allow you to see activities
       planned at the various parks.  You can use the associated "Schedule Me"
       button to request that your event be placed on the calendar.
       If you request it, an additional anouncement can be posted on the
       web log for the park you wish to use.
       While there is no specific enforcement of who has priority on the use of a facility,
       it is our hope that this will help avoid planning conflicts.
       You may wish to post a copy of your schedule confirmation at the facility
       you have requested the night before or morning of your event and take
       a copy with you when the time comes.

  Q.)  What about campfires?
  A.)  No fires may be layed on the ground in any park, however,
       some parks provide grills, and park patrons are free
       to bring their own grills as well.  
       Please exercise great care to avoid injury to yourselves 
       and damage to park grounds or property.
