As a division within the Community Services Department, the Recreation Division prides itself through a wide range of educational, creative and fun programs offered for our community. Our goal is to “Create Community through People, Parks and Programs” by offering diverse programs and facilities that help build a strong sense of community, promote cultural diversity, encourage health and wellness, and support assets for youth.

Our priority outcomes are measures that will help gauge progress towards supporting the Recreation Plan's vision to “Create Community through People, Parks and Programs.” To support our priority, the Recreation Division provides many programs, services and City-Wide events for people of all ages. We also offer rental facilities for special events and meetings, as well as field and gym reservations for sports organizations.
