(A) The village has five active parks and nine passive parks. Reservations can be made for use of four of the five active parks. Parks are available on a limited basis to residents and (limited) non-residents.
(1) Washington Park; Picnics, soccer, baseball, basketball;
(2) Summit Park; Picnics, soccer, baseball, tennis;
(3) Lake Park; baseball;
(4) Saunder's Park; baseball.
(B) Purpose. There is great demand for our recreational fields and flexible Administrative policies are necessary to protect both the condition and availability of the fields. Over 1,000 families pay taxes to provide and maintain these four recreational parks and the village will strive to share the time fairly and equitably among all of these taxpayers. The Village Administration reserves the right to amend these polices when in the best interest of the village. Amendment(s) may include limiting time availability, day availability and or denial of use. Should a sport activity be deemed too harsh, inappropriate or injurious to the physical condition of the park(s), an application may be rejected. Failure to follow procedures and or rules will also result in rejection of present and future use. Those continuing to violate these rules and or regulations, after receiving reasonable notice, may be prosecuted in the Glendale Magistrate Court under § 96.02.

(1) Groups of six or more persons require a permit.
(2) Organized sports or sport events require a permit.
