The applicant will then have to describe the project being requested, a reason for the park request and attach a picture or sketch to the form. They also have to provide contact information. The first park project rule is that the location of the project will have to approved by the Winamac Park Manager, which is currently Aaron Spanley. Further, all projects requested for the Winamac Town Park must meet current ADA standards.

No concrete trucks or heavy equipment shall be driven on or across the paved walking trail without proper authorization.
