WHATS NEW AT CLEMANS VIEW PARK:

Clemans View Park is the only park in Yakima County that is a non profit 503c managed park. That means all the money to run the park comes from donations and fundraisers. Noone is charged any taxes to cover the running of the park. All of the ball fields are kept up by the volunteers of the Upper Valley Little League Association, and monies collected through annual dues. They have done an outstanding job again this year !

Little League is almost over, but the organization still needs help for the rest of the year. The Club House and Tennis Courts are taken care of by the Clemans View Board and a few volunteers (which we could use a few more of) -- monies are collected through rentals of the Club House and a yearly “Indian Summer Fest” auction.

This year we are going to have a “Naches Independence Day Festival” starting on the 3rd of July with a flag pole dedication, games, dunk tank, food and assorted other vendors, and a professional fire works show. On July 4th there’s going to be a horseshoe tournament, 3on3 Basketball, and Jack & Jill softball tournament. The Club House will be serving Walla Walla sweet brats and adult beverages.

For more information (or to volunteer your services!!) please contact: Dave Desmarais (509-952-6481), or Randy Juette (509-653-2165), or Terry Critchlow (509-945-5465).
