Bring your own fishing gear as there are no on-site rental facilities for pond use.
Check the Deerfield Township sports calendar before visiting, as weekends are often fully booked for youth tournaments.
Parking lots near the baseball diamonds fill quickly during league game days; consider parking near the secondary entrance if the main lot is full.
Do not attempt to walk on the athletic fields if they are closed due to wet conditions, as this can result in usage fines.
