🚧 Exciting News! 🚧

Construction on the new walking path officially begins today! We’re thrilled to see this project get underway and can’t wait for everyone to enjoy it once it’s complete.

During construction, the walking path will be closed, and the pool parking lot will be temporarily blocked off for contractor use only.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to bring this great addition to the community!

Stay tuned for updates along the way!

🐾 Friendly Reminder from Scripps Park 🐾

For the safety and enjoyment of all visitors, dogs must be kept on a leash at all times in any location within Scripps Park — including the walking path and playground.

📍 This is not just a park rule — it is a City of Rushville ordinance. Dogs are required to be on a leash anywhere within city limits.

Let’s work together to keep our community safe, clean, and enjoyable for everyone — both people and pets! 🐶🌳🛝

Thank you for being a responsible pet owner!

You spoke and we listened!
New chairs have been purchased and their implementation has begun.
Shout out to Kerr Homecenter for delivery of the new chairs and to the Peacock/Esther Family for setting them up.
They truly are a beautiful addition.
