Mission Statement

The purpose of the Parks and Recreation Department is to provide a year-round leisure services program and functional, well-maintained facilities which serve the diverse needs of the community at large. 

Parks and Recreation is so much more than playgrounds, fields and a Community Center. We introduce kids to youth sports in a fun, safe environment. We encourage seniors activities and build friendships. We help you achieve your fitness goals and maintain a healthy lifestyle. We provide well-maintained places to picnic and play. We provide family programs you will remember for a lifetime. So stop by often and try something new – there’s always something going on!
