Starting in 1976, town residents have held an every-other-summer event called Friendship Days. Proceeds from these festivals and private donations built and maintain the Pettisville Community Park.
Pettisville's park is unique in that no taxes have been used in it's funding. The Park is a community project directed by a network of volunteers that serve for three years on the Park Board. PARC Inc is the non-profit organization created for the park's benefit.
