Purpose of Pioneer Park Recreational and Camp Property
Under priesthood leadership, church recreational camps, such as Pioneer Park, provide a dedicated outdoor setting for church activities. The primary purpose of these camps is to help young men and women feel the spirit and enjoy safe wholesome recreation and have fun. Stakes, wards, families, and others may also use these camps for approved activities.
Dress and grooming should be modest, tasteful, and in keeping with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints standards.
Activities should be conducive to the atmosphere of a church facility.
No guns, open fires or fireworks of any kind allowed in Pioneer Park. There is a fire pit at the amphitheater that can be used.
