A joint water rescue and dive team exercise with Fredericktown and Danville will take place in the lakes area of the park between 8:30AM and 2:00PM on Wednesday July 19, 2023. Ariel Foundation Park is not only a natural biology lab for area schools, but our local area First Responders use it as a convenient classroom where they can regularly practice and hone their skills.
