Parks and Recreation

How can I receive more information?

Call the Park and Recreation Department or check out the Park and Recreation website.

When can I (or cannot) trim/cut trees?

Trim during dormancy, which is early spring and again mid to late fall and through the winter. It is not healthy to prune trees during the summer months with leaves on because without precision cuts, this opens the tree up for disease and infestation.

When can we get on the ball fields?

This depends on weather conditions.

Why are the parks “closed” for a portion of the year?

It would cost too much to heat; the buildings need to be winterized.

Why charge user fees?

To keep tax rates down and defray costs.
