Park Operations

Description

The Park Operations team maintains more than 80 parks including sports fields, playgrounds, picnic shelters, skate parks, the Pearl Street Mall, the Civic Area, Valmont City Park, community parks, neighborhood parks, pocket parks, dog parks and more.

 

Summary of 2025 Budget Enhancements and Realignments:

1) Maintains core service levels and essential maintenance across our parks system by addressing cost escalation experienced with inflationary, contractual and mandated increases. 

2) Addresses costs associated with technology, energy and fleet.

3) Realigns historically unspent non-standard staffing allocation to underfunded areas to support core service levels and community benefit contracts.
