Amelia Earhart Park is a large, beautiful area nestled in the midst of highways, and a bustling community. The park offers many traditional park features, including wide open spaces, pavilions for parties, and playgrounds with up-to-date equipment appropriate for very small up to school aged children.

Party pavilions for 150 people are $150 (plus $100 returnable deposit) for the day, and smaller pavilions (40 or fewer persons) are $50 ($30 deposit) for the day. Bike carriages can be rented for $5-20 per hour (depending on the size) and must be rented by someone over 18 years of age. Paddleboats can also be rented for $10 per hour $10.

Unique to this park is the Bill Graham Farm Village. This re-created pioneer farm village has a general store, where you can purchase popcorn, ice cream, and sodas; a demonstration shed where you can see horse-shoeing, cow milking, and sheep shearing (we recommend you call for a schedule); and a petting zoo with sheep, goats, pigs, horses, geese, and chickens. Feed for the animals can be purchased for 50 cents, and pony rides can be purchased at the general store for $2.

The park offers 6 1/2 miles of mountain bike trails for children ages 8 and over. There are beginning, intermediate and advanced trails. Everyone must wear a helmet and must bring their own bike.

The park also has a soccer complex that features four lighted soccer fields with a field house, restrooms and concession. For field rentals call 305.820.8557.
