With a maximum occupancy of 100, the Pavilion has a raised stage, restrooms, a bar area, and can be used for small weddings, corporate functions, or family events.   The Pavilion hosts a community concert series during the late summer / early fall as well as the Elbert County Market Place on many Saturdays throughout the year.

The playground at Casey Jones includes a small play system with monkey bars, a bridge, and a slide. There are two climber systems to include an inclined web crawler and a small rock wall with netting, a swing set, and for those who like to get a little dizzy there are two spinners to play on.

The trail in Casey Jones Park is approximately 1.3 miles in length and meanders through the natural area of the northern and eastern sections of the park.  It is a soft surface trail approximately 8 feet wide. The trail can be used for walking / running, bicycling, and horseback riding.  No motorized vehicles are permitted except for mobility assist devices and e-bikes.  Access the trail by parking at the north end of the baseball fields.  The trail begins at the northwest corner of the parking area.   

The ball fields within Casey Jones Park are the home to the District’s adult softball leagues and may be used by the public when not permitted for District programs or private events / functions. Both fields have lights, and the outfields can be used for soccer, football and other activities as needed. Contact the Park Office to permit fields.

The rodeo grounds have been used since the early 1900’s for “cowboy” events. It is the venue for The Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo that is held every year in early June.
