Governor John A. Notte, Jr. Park
Take advantage this summer of our beautiful park with a freshwater
beach. With ample parking, close proximity and (best of all) no
“beach traffic,” Gov. Notte Park is a wonderful alternative to South
County Beaches. This quaint and peaceful park boasts a ball field,
tennis courts, swings for small children, and a rustic, serene feel
that makes you forget that you are only minutes from the “hustle and
bustle” of Mineral Spring Avenue! Our American Red Cross and
State-Certified Lifeguards and friendly staff are on duty weekends
starting Memorial Day weekend, and daily once the school year ends
for safe swimming and paddle boat rentals.
Independence Day Celebration
Don’t miss our fabulous Independence Day Celebration at Governor
Notte Park on Thursday, July 3, 2008. Enjoy refreshments at the
food court starting at 6pm while you listen to live musical
entertainment by Nightlife Orchestra directed by Mark Bedrossian
from 6-9:30pm. We top off the fun with a tremendous fireworks
display at 9pm. The rain date is scheduled for Friday, July 4,
2008.
