Dear Park Community,
We want to take a moment to reiterate the primary objective behind the rules and guidelines: to create a secure and enjoyable environment for all owners, guests, and staff.

 Our commitment to safety and pleasure extends to every corner of our park, which covers 75 acres and approximately 5 miles of roads, multiple buildings, and several facilities. However, it is a physical impossibility for the Park Management team and staff to be present at all locations – night and day. Despite this challenge, we assure you that our dedicated team is determined to maintain a strong presence and uphold the rules to the best of their abilities.

 While it may not always be possible for a staff member to be immediately visible in every area, we have implemented various measures to monitor the park proactively. Surveillance cameras, strategic staff positioning, and routine patrols are just a few examples of the steps we take to ensure your safety and enjoyment.

 We appreciate the enthusiasm and dedication of our teenage summer staff in contributing to a positive park experience. However, please understand that certain situations may be too complex or sensitive in nature for them. In such – cases, we kindly urge you to reach out to our management or senior staff members. They possess the necessary expertise and experience to address and resolve these situations effectively. Your cooperation in involving them ensures the best possible outcome for everyone involved.

 Moreover, we firmly believe in the power of community collaboration. Each and every one of you plays an integral role in helping us maintain a safe and welcoming park environment. By adhering to the rules and notifying us of violations promptly, we can work together to address issues directly and effectively.

 Our park thrives on the collective effort of staff, visitors, and guests, all of whom contribute to the positive atmosphere that makes it such a special place. As we continue to improve and evolve, we remain committed to refining our strategies and implementing improvements to enhance your overall experience.

 Your safety and enjoyment are of utmost importance to us, and we encourage you to reach out to any park staff member if you ever require assistance or have any questions. Together, we can ensure that the park is a destination of joy, relaxation, and cherished memories for everyone.

 Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
Best regards,
Ed Mayer
