Community Parks

The crown jewels of our park system are the two community parks. Features of these parks include playgrounds, shade structures, trail and path systems, and multiple sports courts and fields. 

Neighborhood Parks

Smaller, neighborhood parks serve as community gathering areas and typically include play structures, swings, picnic areas and seating. Dogs are not allowed in these parks.
