National Park Guidelines is 6.25 – 10.5 acres of developed open space per 1000 population – 10 acres per 1000 population. Maintenance staff guidelines vary. The City does not meet the minimal standards of park maintenance employees per park acreage. Therefore, staff stretches to include the maintenance of the 36,000 sq ft Activity Building including a full size gymnasium.

43% of the budget is personnel, that are professionally educated and certified. Collectively, we successfully deliver 100% service to the community.
