The Parks Maintenance program (part of the Public Works Department) operates and maintains the city’s parks, open spaces, public spaces, buildings and grounds. The city maintains nine developed parks, five undeveloped parks, more than 42 acres of open space and various pedestrian paths, (see map). One full time and one seasonal employee comprise the Parks Maintenance staff with occasional assistance from the Public Works crew when time permits. The City also uses local landscape contractors to perform monthly landscape maintenance at City buildings and various public areas.
