Parks

The Parks Department maintains and improves the city’s public parks, playgrounds, open spaces, and recreational facil-
ities. This includes tasks like mowing, landscaping, litter removal, and upkeep of park amenities such as picnic areas,
benches, restrooms, and walking trails. The department also works to ensure that public green spaces are safe, attrac-
tive, and accessible for residents of all ages to enjoy outdoor activities and community gatherings.

While Sansom Park’s Parks Department may not run large recreation programs, it plays an important role in enhancing
residents’ quality of life by providing well-maintained spaces for leisure, exercise, and social connection.

Funding for the Parks Department comes from the General Fund because maintaining public parks is a core city service
that benefits the entire community and supports neighborhood livability.
