Parks & Recreation

The Recreation Department provides programs for children and adults throughout the year. Our Barone Complex offers two new NAA Fields and a girl's softball field. Latshaw Field is a host to NAA, high school, college and semi-pro teams during the baseball season. We also have an adult softball field on Weirman Field which various teams use. Our parks offer bocce ball, volleyball, and horseshoes as activities where residents can join in league play.

NOTE: All programs offered are in need of coaches, sponsors and umpires. Contact us at the above number to see how you can help.
