The Southington Township Trustees set aside four events each year at the park.  Don and Patsy Strock head up these events and guide an army of volunteers in preparing for each event.  

The end of summer – return to school party will enjoy its second annual appearance at the park.  Some of the action includes games for the younger ones, donated school supplies, food, antiques on display as well as Police and Fire vehicles.

A big hit for several years at the park and scheduled to return this year is Halloween night in the park.  Dedicated sponsors help with candy donations that get passed out to all the youngsters and you can also find some costumed guests each year to help with the proceedings.

The Holiday season is special at our park.  The Gazebo is adored with a Christmas tree and decorations abound throughout the area.  “Santa” and Mrs. Claus grace us with an appearance helping to kick off the Holiday season in Southington.  Bags of goodies are passed out to the younger visitors.

The fourth event is an Easter egg hunt.  Once again dedicated sponsors and friends provide treats that are put into plastic eggs and distributed around the Park.  The “hunts” are conducted according to age levels and everyone leaves with some treats.

The Township Trustees wish to thank Don & Patsy Strock and their army of volunteers for making these four events such huge successes.

In addition to these four events, the Park area is reserved for weddings, family picnics, graduation parties, photo sessions, etc.  Wedding party requests have come from Southington, surrounding communities and even out of State.  The Park area is kept available for Homecoming and Prom nights for use in photo sessions.  We’ve even seen students from surrounding areas come in to take pictures at our Gazebo.

There is no charge for reserving the Southington Community Park area and reservations are taken on a first come, first served basis.  To make a reservation, or to find out availability, contact Sam Plott at (330) 898-5615.
