 In partnership with our residents, the mission of the Parks and Recreation Department is to preserve, protect, maintain and enhance its natural resources, public parkland, open spaces, trails and recreation facilities for current and future generations in a safe and secure environment.

 Parks and Recreation provides comprehensive programs, facilities and services which respond to changing needs within our community that enhance the overall quality of life and general well being of citizens and visitors.

 Continue maintaining existing service and maintenance quality levels;  Incrementally increase cost recovery on all fee- based activities;  Continue to seek opportunities to reduce expenditures while maintaining service levels; and  Emphasize volunteer recruitment by seeking community support and partnerships to increase the total number of volunteer service hours in the maintenance and development of its recreational trail and greenway/blueway system in order to reduce expenditures while maintaining service levels.
