In addition to this main developed 25 acre park site, the county owns 7.5 acres of shoreland located about 600 feet west of the main park, as well as 26 acres to the east.

The main area of Byllesby Park is undergoing a very large construction project this summer to bring a larger gathering space, modern restrooms, electrical outlets, and drinking water to the park.  Click here for project updates
