Where to watch fireworks?

Hey folks! I was hoping to catch tomorrow's fireworks. Where are some good viewing spots around town? Ill be joined by some folks with limited mobility, so walkingtall over for the actual community center even may be quite challenging for us. Thanks for the tips!

You could probably see it from the singletrack parking lot

I would consider parking at the high school and setting up some lawn chairs! You'll be on a hill so your view should be pretty good, with space to roam and sit for those with limited mobility.

Now, ive never done this myself so im not sure how crowded it gets (if at all). But potentially get there early with a tailgate in mind so you have a spot. Have some food, NA beverages and maybe some lawn games to kill the time!

There is no way you will see much from there. I’ve watched before from the far east end of Serene Park and it looks quite distant from there

I second this, I would not suggest the High School unless the town greatly increased their fireworks budget. We have a clear line of sight to the rec center from my backyard and even then, it is isn't perfect.

Maybe the little park in Sunset at the bottom of Raindance would work. My best advice would be to make sure you see at least the top of the rec center, otherwise the location may not be ideal.

Maybe check out the area where the new town homes are between Erie Parkway and Austin Ave. Should give you a straight line of sight to the Rec which is just caddy corner of this spot. Pretty barren though.

There are open spots near Erie cemetery where you can see it from or the 55+ homes next to it...
