Our Parks & Streets department works year-round to keep the district maintained. All of the streets, parks, catch basins, stormwater system, and culverts are maintained by a crew of 3 people.

There is not a precise schedule of maintenance for this department as there are always several variables in play for their scheduling. Weather is a very big variable, as well as budgetary constraints and priority levels.

• Dethatch and aerate all the district's lawns.
• Mow, trim, and blow the parks.
• Pre-emergent treatment of weeds.
• Fertilize district's lawns.
• Prepare the ball fields for sports use.
• Sand and paint the benches, tables, and trash cans in the parks as needed.
• Inspect playground equipment for hazards.
• Daily checks of the parks and facilities to empty garbage cans, clean restrooms, and resupply restrooms.
