Hillside Park opens next week as National Parks and Recreation Month concludes. Adjacent to Blue Sky Sports Center at 950 E. Main St, this will be Allen's first park with exercise stations. The public is invited to learn more about the park at a special presentation that begins at 9 a.m. on July 31 at the Allen Senior Recreation Center, 451 E. St. Mary St. A bus will be available to shuttle attendees to the site following the presentation.
In addition to the exercise stations, park amenities include benches, picnic tables, a water fountain, walking paths and a concave pavilion that contributes to its unique look and focus on adult exercise and recreation.
