The Community Park plays host to youth soccer in the fall and spring plus summer ball activities on its lighted softball/baseball field. A park board comprised of five members oversee the operation and maintenance of the LaCygne Community Park.
Bittiker Park, a smaller park located on North Broadway, provides enjoyment for families by providing play equipment, basketball goals, picnic tables and a small shelter house. Bittiker Park is operated and maintained by the Governing Body of the City.
Those Lazy Hazy Days of Summer will find kids and adults alike enjoying the cool clean waters of the LaCygne Pool.
