Discover Sportsman Recreation Area in Cylinder
Sportsman Recreation Area is one of the most popular parks in the county and is 83-acres in size. Most of the popularity comes from the trap and shooting ranges. To take advantage of these great ranges, you must purchase a Palo Alto County Gun Club Membership (These can be purchased on site via cash, check, or scanning a QR Code for card payments). The shooting range offers shelter while practicing, and has 10, 25, 50, 100, and 200 yard targets. The trap range features a permanent clay pigeon thrower available for use, and often hosts the county trap meets. Sportsman's Recreation Area also features a 30-acre gravel pit. The pit was renovated in fall of 2019, and stocked in spring of 2020, with bass, bluegills, and catfish. Picnicking is encouraged, as there is a grill and tables located close to the clubhouse.
