Tawasentha Park has wide-ranging and expanding recreational opportunities such as tennis and pickleball courts, basketball and volleyball courts, playgrounds, picnicking facilities, pavilions and the new outdoor adult exercise area. The Park has an extensive hiking system with a bridge that crosses the Normans Kill and links to trails in the Winter Recreation Area. The new pickleball courts at Nott Road Park are open for use, awaiting the fencing to finalize the project.
