This is my fairground, this is my park ...

Boundary County Parks & Rec

Many people are confused with the Fairgrounds and Parks and Rec. I have been trying for years to let people know the difference.

The Fairgrounds consist of the barns and the three buildings (Memorial Hall, Exhibit Hall and the VEC) behind the covered slab and the Outdoor arena. The Fairgrounds does NOT include any grass. And the fair office is attached to the Valley Event Center (VEC), which is the dining hall.

Parks and Rec consist of all the grass, the covered slab, playground, the ball fields, tennis courts, skateboard park and the ball fields and park across the river. The Parks and Rec office is by the skateboard park, it's in  the big brown shop.

In the appropriate lexicon, the park next to the fairgrounds is Memorial Park and the one across the river is Rivers Park.
