Above, the Parks & Recreation Department facility at the SW corner of Colfax and Main Streets.  On most days, Parks Department employees are out maintaining our facilities.  Therefore, we ask that you do NOT stop at the Parks Department building.  Instead, please call and leave a message or e-mail us.

Have a question or comment for the Parks Department ... have you visited one of our facilities and found something that was unsafe or broken?  Please let us know by calling 922-3078 and leave a message on the answering machine (please speak SLOWLY, and give us your name, telephone number, and message).  You can also e-mail us at: [email protected].
