| The Community of Tuolumne is fortunate to have many recreational assets. In the midst of town is a beautiful park with a bandstand where summer concerts are held. On display in Depot Park ,you will find a turn of the century locomotive that once ran a narrow railway deep into the woods for The Westside Flume and Lumber Company. To the South stands The Veterans Memorial Hall and Playground. Across Main Street you will find a Swimming Pool, Youth Center, Library, Horseshoe Pits, Multi-Use Field and Little League Ball Park. Farther away from the center of town is Reid Park on the corner of Carter Street and Bay Avenue. At the edge of town, on Carter Street is our Community Garden. Just a little farther up the road on Buchanan Mine Road is the Westside Narrow Gauge Walking Trail. From there 6 miles out Cottonwood Road on the North Fork of the Tuolumne River, is the River Ranch Campgrounds. |
