About

According to the Report to the Parks Commission, "General Palmer's plan for a park system was bold, far-sighted and comprehensive. He sought to surround the city with near-by parks, mountain driveways, woodland paths, and trails; to furnish places for healthful outdoor exercise and quiet restful enjoyment."

The City continues to build on this legacy through a diverse network of parks, recreation, trails and cultural amenities - a direct result of decades of work, leadership and investment by the community. Today, the department maintains
