Hornell City Department of Public
Works
Parks and Recreation
Our Department of Public Works has three municipal parks in its
jurisdiction:
Veteran's Memorial Park was constructed in 1974,
and has grown and developed to offer a variety
of recreational opportunities to area residents.
Department of Public Works forces have constructed
six family picnic pavilions at this site, which
may be reserved for family reunions, receptions,
company picnics, school outings, and other family
oriented activities at no charge for City residents. In 1995, a municipal swimming
pool was added to the
park. A perimeter pathway is marked for those
wishing to log their walking and jogging miles.
Recently, Public Works personnel constructed
two new play areas for a total of three sites
for children. The park also offers two softball
fields, a combination baseball/soccer field,
handball walls and a series of tennis courts.
A central concession area has restroom facilities.
There will be no dogs allowed in Veteran's Memorial Park on the Fourth of July, Memorial Day and Labor Day. This policy will be strictly enforced and signs are posted at the park.
The Department of Public Works and The Hornell
City School District cooperatively operate public
facilities at Maple City Park. We are extremely
proud of our athletic facilities, and especially
our track and field complex which includes the artificial turf football/soccer field. During the summer
months, Maple City Park is the home of the Summer
Music Games, an international Drum and Bugle
Corps Competition as well as summer track
and soccer programs, semiprofessional baseball,
and football programs, that serve to draw people
to the Hornell area to experience Maple City
Park and our beautiful City.
The Michael Fucci Memorial Park at Shawmut is located at the end of Thacher Street. Joining the pre-existing skateboard park, is a half-mile lighted walkway around the existing pond, aeration and ornamental fountains in the pond, a handicapped accessible fishing pier, three new pavilions, restrooms, a concession stand, children's play area, horseshoe pits and 56 parking spaces. There also will be two soccer/football fields and two soccer/softball fields.
Dogs are allowed in the City's parks, provided they are leashed and not running freely. The City ordinance making dog owners responsible for cleaning up after their dogs is also in effect in all City parks.
Veteran's Memorial Park and Shawmut Park are both "Carry In - Carry Out" parks. Please be sure to take your trash home with you. The parks belong to all of us...it is our responsibility to care for them and protect them for generations to come.
