AMADOR PARKS

The Town of Amador provides a variety of recreational opportunities for its residents with a Park and Recreation Program.  The Town anticipates steady growth in population and increased density which will create demand for more leisure and recreational facilities.  To this purpose, current and potential park and recreational facilities are being identified.  While Wild River State Park, a state park, is located within the township, there are no county parks currently in Amador Township.

  • Funds contributed during subdivision of property within Amador Township are used to develop and maintain current parks in the township.

  • The Friends of the Amador Heritage Center help fund the facilities located on this park
