The Aurora 5-Year Parks Master Plan will continue the current efforts of the town to develop its parks system to meet the needs of its residents. The project will engage residents and community leaders to provide recommendations that seek to improve the current parks system. The plan’s recommendations will focus on infrastructure improvements, but will also address policy and program updates to support the continued growth of the parks system.

Check out the Master Plan website for information about what the Plan is, and when public forums will be held to allow residents to give their input on the proposal.

Community Business Highlight

City of Aurora Congratulates

The Dearborn Country Club
Celebrating 90 Years!

170 Country Club Lane, Aurora, IN 47001

(812) 926-1747 - dearborncc.net - cincinnatioutdoorweddings.com

It all started as the Wymond family farm in the 1800’s. Their home was as an essential part of the underground railroad, hiding escaped slaves in a secret room of the farm house. In 1926, a group of businessmen conceived the idea of a country club. They purchased the Wymond Estate overlooking the Wilson Creek Valley and established the home as the centerpiece of the club. In 1992, the club board decided to change the original 9-hole golf course to the current 18-holes. On February 3, 2003, fire destroyed the old mansion. Now standing on the site of the original clubhouse, is a 25,000-square foot state of the art facility.

In 2010, the largest independent banquet operations in the tristate began hosting meetings, banquets, and weddings at the Dearborn Country Club. Receptions Inc. menus and packages are offered for all banquets, and with three different sized banquet rooms, any party size can be handled. The Club also manages outdoor, tented events at Veraestau Historic Landmark and Mission Heights Farm.

Keeping up with the times and local demand, Woody’s Bar & Grille was born. The crowd-pleasing menu offers steak, pork chops, numerous appetizers and home-style meals. Every Sunday, Woody’s features an amazing Sunday brunch buffet with omelets, Belgian waffles, meats, casseroles, and much more! Also featured on Sundays, delicious, family-style kettle fried chicken.
