In addition to the park properties, Parks Department responsibilities also include maintenance
of the grounds and landscaping on the premises of public buildings which include City Hall,
the Public Library, the Colleyville Center, Justice Center and the Senior Center, and turf
maintenance for four Fire Stations. The Parks Department also manages the maintenance of
the landscaping in various rights-of-way such as the roundabouts and medians along Glade
Road.

Water is a necessary component in maintaining highly attractive parks, athletic fields, and
landscaped areas. The proper management of public irrigation systems is a critical component
in the responsible use of water. Parks Department staff ensure the proper function of over
forty irrigation systems located throughout the city. These systems are located in roadway
medians and roundabouts as well as on athletic fields and on the premises of public buildings,
such as the Justice Center and City Hall. The evaluation and upkeep of irrigation systems
through routine inspections and maintenance constitute a large part of this core service.
Additionally, staff serve to review irrigation plans for various public improvement projects,
prioritize the replacement of current systems, and increase water conservation by
modernizing components within each system. Staff also custom tailor system programming
