BSA Picnic Shelter, BSA Gazebo or BSA Softball Field

 Rules and Restrictions

  1. Please keep the area clean.  When you are finished using the area, remove garbage bags from the cans and take them to the large dumpster on the opposite side of Einstein Avenue (the one with the ramp).  Volunteer labor puts out the trash cans and puts them away after use.  Set the empty garbage cans near the door of the gazebo or at the end of the shelter, unless they are secured in place.  Please use the recycling containers provided to recycle glass, aluminum, plastics (1&2), and cardboard.  In addition to the two aluminum recycling containers by the picnic shelter, recycling containers are located by the restrooms and by the dumpster. Failure to properly dispose and segregate all items (trash, aluminum, plastics, glass, etc.) will result in a charge to your work package number.
  2. Please do not rearrange and move the picnic tables.  If a different picnic table configuration is required for your usage, please submit a service request.
