Parks & Recreation
The BDay Celebration was AWESOME! We served ~185 plates of tacos, 160 bags of popcorn, and too many cupcakes to count. The place was packed with kids who were crazy excited about everything (which made us old folks happy just to be around so much energy).
The DJ rocked it; the food was fantastic (never have I had a taco so good); Boy Scouts said their booth was successful. The City raised $240 for Pack 62. They said this money will pay for all the awards they hand out this year. Games played: Kid craft; Sidewalk drawing; Sack racing; Freeze Dancing and axe throwing which was jammed with people throughout.
Shady Cove Volunteers kicked into full swing in May, helping Jackson County Parks to address some latent maintenance issues at the Upper Rogue Regional Park. With tools, paint supplies and muscle, the group swept thru the park rebuilding the rotted picnic tables, weed whacking, trash pickup and bbq pit cleanout. When the crew was done, the park looked loved. Note: Due to a lack of supplies, there are 2 tables still to be rebuilt. These will be restored once the supplies arrive.
As Mayor Jon Ball stated, “the hard work of volunteers is very much what Shady Cove brings to everything”. So cheers to the great volunteers of Shady Cove!
If you would like to be part of this great team helping to beautify Shady Cove (weeding, sweeping, painting, handyman services, coordinating volunteers, etc, etc), please sign up via the City Website (under the Commissions & Committees; Volunteering tabs). Together we can make Shady Cove a City we are all very proud of.
Special thanks to our volunteers on this project –

Read MoreDue to the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis, and after Jackson County was placed back on the “watch list” due to worries about the health climate, the City is forced to cancel its September Music in the Park offering. The Governor of Oregon has put restrictions on gatherings. Our last show was so great, that we can not make certain that we would have under 100 people attend or that everyone will follow the 6′ social distancing rule.
We know that it is disappointing, but the City must care for it’s citizens, the majority being seniors.

AUNT CAROLINE’S PARK
PARTIAL REOPENING
In an effort to give our citizens a place to enjoy the outd00rs, we are reopening the majority of the park. There are, of course, some restrictions as we go through a nation-wide reopening process. We want everyone to be safe and healthy.
- Please keep 6’ social distancing everywhere in the park.
- If you or your child are feeling ill, please do not use the facilities.
- The bathroom will remain closed until we can safely open it.
- Keep children safe at all times and continue to wash hands regularly after touching common areas.
- Per the direction of the State authorities, the playground equipment is to remain closed off until further notice.
- Benches, doors, tables, and equipment are all newly cleaned and/or painted.
- As the contractor is still working on the ramp, please pay extra attention as you use it. Not having the handrails yet, the stairs will remain closed.
- When in doubt, please err on the side of caution and health.
We will post additional updates on the City website at www.shadycove.org or you may call 541-878-2225. Enjoy your time at the park.
