There is no doubt that Fayette County has quite a bit to offer during the summer months, from fairs and festivals to any number of nature activities, like hiking at Bear Run or whitewater rafting at Ohiopyle.
But for those who prefer to keep their outdoor adventures a little closer to home, the county features an abundance of activities at its three parks.
Parks and Recreation Manager Thomas Petrus, hired last July, said he was âsuper stokedâ to oversee county parks.
Petrus said despite pandemic-related shutdowns in many other aspects of daily life, âwe actually never shut the parks down. Two of them have lakes, so there were always people fishing. They put up social distancing signs.â
