If you haven't been to the park with your family in awhile, the Newton Township Park in Gould City is really looking great. It's off the highway, quiet and peaceful, with lots of fun things for the children to play on, a great picnic area, and more. A lot of hard work goes into keeping the park looking wonderful.
