Parks & Green Spaces

(Last updated:  December 6, 2023)

We, Hepburn Parks and Recreation Board and Town of Hepburn, are open to input about the use of parks and green spaces for events, programs, and ideas.  These spaces are public spaces, and operate as first come, first serve.  If you are planning for a larger event, we encourage you to notify the office and to also post a sign the morning of your event.    Thanks for caring for and sharing the spaces.
