County parks record, 2026; Indiana DNR property records
Lakeville holds two small parks and no park board; the system around it is other governments' work. The county system that serves the town's south end prints at its own record: St. Patrick's County Park and Ferrettie/Baugo Creek County Park (opened to the public in 1987, grown to 214 acres, fifty of them marsh and island habitat held protected, named for former county commissioner Henry Ferrettie) are county-held grounds, maintained from the county parks levy, open to township residents without a town park tax behind them. The state system holds Potato Creek under the Division of State Parks' standard of trail maintenance, signage, and seasonal programming. The obligation runs one way in the record: the town's residents use ground that county and state taxpayers maintain, and the town's own contribution is its two small grounds — Newton Park held by a private nonprofit and Culp Park by the town — with no park board, no levy, and no trail crew of its own appearing in any record reached.
