In this story

Recreation beside roadside history

Wayside Park’s county description lists walking trails, pickleball courts, playground space and picnic facilities. It also connects the site to the Great Depression and a Civilian Conservation Corps roadside stopping place.

That history gives an ordinary picnic or walk a link to an earlier era of road travel.

Location and gathering plans

The park is at 1678 Main Street in Hurt. Decide whether your plan needs a reservation or simply a check of current conditions, and confirm arrangements with Parks and Recreation before organizing a gathering.

Check current rental information

The facility page retains old construction information and rates that differ from a separate rentals page; this guide deliberately does not present those as current instructions.
