In The Park is sponsored by the Painesville City Improvement Corporation. In December the park is also home to an event known as Spirit of The Season and most important, the arrival of Santa Claus. Spirit of the Season is held the first Saturday in December and offers many activities for kids as well as a parade. The park offers a ball diamond that is used by several youth leagues for practices. It also has a new play structure purchased with funds from the state Natureworks grant program.
Rental information is available at the Recreation office.
The City of Painesville maintains and operates two municipal cemeteries. Current cemetery rules allow artificial decorations in the winter months only. All artificial decorations, flowers and glass blocks must be removed by the 1st of March. Any winter decorations left on the grounds after this date will be removed by the Cemetery Division. Only Fresh Cut Flowers, not in containers , may be placed on the graves for Easter Sunday and Mother's Day.
