Flooding in the Park & You!
Staying Safe During Flooding at Lititz Springs Park
And how you can help by steering clear of muddy areas and cleanup work!
What Happens When the Park Floods
Heavy rains can quickly cause flooding at the Park, especially along low-lying paths and grassy areas. After the water recedes, our small but dedicated park staff works hard to repair damage, remove debris, and restore the park’s beauty for visitors.
Staying Safe During Wet Conditions
Never enter flood waters. Even shallow water can hide strong currents, debris, or unstable ground.
Respect barricades and closure signs. They are there to keep you safe and give staff room to work.
Check weather and park updates before visiting. Conditions can change quickly during heavy rain.
Avoid walking or driving through flooded areas. Water can weaken walkways and cause hidden hazards.
Helping By Not Harming
Stay off muddy or waterlogged surfaces. Walking on wet turf can damage grass roots, make ruts, and slow down recovery.
Give cleanup crews space. Our staff needs room to move equipment, haul debris, and make repairs safely.
Observe detours and closed sections. This protects both you and the team working to restore the park.
Easy Ways to Support Your Park
Use open areas of the park while closed sections are being repaired.
Spread the word about respecting closures to friends, family, and fellow visitors.
Offer help through the right channels—contact park management to see if extra hands are needed.
Dispose of trash properly to prevent added cleanup after storms.
