Hello Amherst!

Jasper Valley only has a Pool/Tennis court area.  You have to pay to use it and it's very expensive for Seniors to use  for just summer months.

Local library has events a few times a month...mostly for children which this town supports more than the elderly. All our tax money goes to schools..nothing for Seniors!
