Yantis Park

There are dozens of towering trees to provide shade in the spring and summer, plus beautiful color in the fall. There are picnic tables, clean restrooms, a children's play area, and (during the summer) a fun swimming pool/waterpark. There is also a walking trail that surrounds the park - perfect for a leisurely stroll. For the more adventurous, there is a steep uphill climb to a hilltop that provides a scenic vista of the area. There are three covered shelters for use and two ball fields and horseshoe pits.

Green Power - Renewable Energy

Milton-Freewater City Light & Power now offers two ways for customers to purchase safe, clean renewable energy and to promote the growth of future renewable energy development.

Genealogy

Our genealogy/Local History Room contains a large collection of historical documents, photos, and newspapers dating back to the 1800's.  Due to the rare nature of some documents and the fragile nature of many of the items, this room is available by supervised appointment.
