Creekside Park, Ben Franklin (Scott Ave) Park, Sugar House Park, and Wheeler Historic Farm act as detention basins. Detention basins temporarily hold water and are part of long-standing plans to mitigate and lessen the impacts of spring runoff.
During spring runoff, it is not uncommon for these parks to fill with water in an effort to protect people and property countywide. To keep everyone safe, parks may close intermittently to car, bicycle, and foot traffic.
