Parks & Recreation Department

The Parks & Recreation Department strives to enhance our community's quality of life by providing parks and open spaces, recreational and cultural opportunities, and promoting community pride and spirit. The department provides a wide variety of leisure-time activities for all age groups, including educational, cultural, sports, and arts and crafts programs, along with various special events. The department also maintains just over 100 acres of park land, including ten parks, the Soccer Complex, and Wilson Park Pool.  Additional areas of responsibility include the urban forestry program and streetscape design, maintenance of all city-owned buildings and grounds, and the publication of the quarterly city newsletter.
