Mark Long
Director of Parks & Recreation

The Parks & Recreation Division is dedicated to providing Bedford citizens with a well-maintained parks system. The
Parks Division is responsible for the maintenance and operation of 154.5 acres of park land, including the facilities and
infrastructure on those properties, such as the municipal aquatic centers, athletic elds, lighting, irrigation, and
restrooms. In addition, the Parks Division manages the City-wide mowing and chemical application contracts which
service medians, rights-of-way, grounds at City facilities, well sites, and drainage ways.

The Recreation Division comprises three areas: Recreation, Seniors, and Cultural Arts. Each of these areas provides
valuable service to the residents of Bedford. Recreation is responsible for Special/ Community Events, maintaining the
managerial contracts for Athletics, and handling the operations and staff at Roy Savage Pool. Senior staff are
responsible for running the Senior Center and all the programming and events that it entails. Cultural Arts manages a
variety of community art projects as well as any cultural special events that the City of Bedford hosts.
