You know it's officially summer when the Keystone Farmers Market is back! Mark your calendars for June 5, 2022 and head out to the beach parking lot. The market will run each Sunday from 10AM-2PM until the end of September.

As always, this is a make it, bake it, or grow it market. So no reselling please.

Any questions can be directed to the coordinators at [email protected].

Trail Maintenance

Friends group members play an active role in maintaining trails for active hiking.

Infrastructure Maintenance

Much of the infrastructure at the park is maintained by volunteers with the Friends Group

Maintenance can be as simple as litter pick up or as in depth as pressure washing and painting. It's all up to you!
