Parks and Recreation Department

The mission of Park,Recreation, and Forestry Department is to improve/ensure the quality of life for citizens by providing a wide variety of leisure and recreational activities, cultural events, park facilities, and other services that encourage health, fitness, relaxation, and overall community well being.

Webster's Dictionary defines Sportsmanship as conduct becoming to a person who is fair, generous, a good loser, and a gracious winner.

In our fast-paced, ever changing world of technology, sometimes this virtue gets lost. It is part of our departments' goals to continue to provide positive programs and activities that foster this good sportsmanship. Educating kids and adults that all games need to be kept in perspective, trying your best, and having fun are the real reasons you should be participating in recreation activities.
