The Department of Parks & Recreation strives to provide our residents with recreation opportunities through the creation of activities, facilities and community special events. We promote recreational opportunities for growth and enhancement by developing programs that promote citizen involvement and a strong sense of community. The Parks and Recreation staff is always working to help you and your families have fun! One important way we fulfill our goal is to ensure that parks, fields, courts and recreation facilities are safe and accessible for all citizens to enjoy.
