The Parks Maintenance Division is responsible for the following service areas.
PARKS: Maintain all city Parks and Rights of Ways. These operations include mowing, trimming, irrigation, installation of signage and the maintenance and installation of playground equipment. The city’s 11 parks encompasses approximately 220 acres of land, including two new parks in the Tuscany subdivision. The City was on the leading edge in developing Freedom Park a park specifically for dogs which we are proud to say was built “in house.”

CEMETERY MAINTENANCE: Burials, maintenance of grounds to include irrigation systems, roadways, signage and foliage.
