WAITSBURG - The increased activity in Preston Park has been noticeable this year, with lots of action at the splash pad and pickleball courts. In addition, weekly camps have been organized by Waitsburg's Parks and Recreation, held in the park and at Simply Sawdust's "Slab."

Across from Preston Park, Palouse Valley Community Center is offering weekly summer camps with activities including drumming and fossil exploration.
