Mowing

All Parks are mowed on a minimum 7- 10-day schedule. Turf is mowed to a height of 2.5”-3” depending on conditions.

*** Please use safety precautions when in the vicinity of all mowing operations. Pedestrians should stay a minimum of 30 feet from an operating mower.

IPM

The Parks Division utilizes Integrated Pest Management in dealing with insect’s weeds and diseases. Pest populations are monitored. Control measures are selected to be compatible, in order to suppress pest below damaging levels, with minimum disruption of, or damage to, the environment and residents.

Trash Maintenance

Trash in parks is always a concern for everyone. Trashcans are located in most parks. Those parks that do not have trashcans are designated trash free parks and it is expected that users remove trash as they leave the facility. For those parks with trashcans, parks staff picks up on a regular basis Mondays and Fridays adding additional pickups when forseen.

Park Bathroom Maintenance

Park bathroom facilities remain locked unless reserved.

The Parks Division staff maintains park bathrooms on Mondays and Fridays. Any park facility bathroom that is reserved for an event receives an inspection and maintenance prior to the event.
