January 19, 2021: Over the past year, an increasing number of decorative items have been brought into Pine Grove Park by members of the public.  While some consider these items an added feature of the park, others feel they detract from the pristine natural setting.  While we appreciated the time and creativity of people,Municipal staff today removed the items. 

Pine Grove Park is a Municipal park and trail system used by thousands of people each year.  The Municipality feels it is important to maintain the natural integrity of the park and ensure it remains a pristine natural site for people to enjoy for many years to come.

We encourage you to continue to visit Pine Grove Park, and while you are there, remember to take only photographs, make only memories and leave no trace.
