Can I bring a
group to Preston's H.O.P.E.?
Absolutely. Groups of any size are welcome at the
park. Please note that for groups of 25 or more, a $100 donation or
more is suggested.
Can we reserve
the pavilion for a party?
The park is open to the public, so we are not able to take reservations for
specific events. Please note that seating in the pavilion is on a

in use. For detailed guidelines please check out our

What are
the park hours?
The park is open from 8:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. during the fair weather months.
When does the park close for the season?
Like any other park, weather permitting, we won't officially close for the
season. However, please note that the restrooms are closed from
November to April.
Can you tell me about the accessible
features of the park?
It would take quite a while to list them all. The park was built with
many custom-designed elements to accommodate youngsters with mobility
issues, vision or hearing impairments. Here are a few examples:
The park is wired with sounds (train whistle, flowing water, etc) that can
help a sight impaired child navigate. The large windows in the village
houses allow parents to use sign language to communicate with hearing
impaired children while they play inside. Broad ramps throughout the
park let youngsters in wheelchairs get a loftier view of the world.
And, the slides have transfer decks so children in wheelchairs can be helped
onto the equipment.
