Did you know...?
You can help improve City Parks by making cash contributions to the City Parks through your utility bill. That's right. Just fill out the City's Park Contribution Form and we will add your contribution to your monthly utility bill for as long as you want. That money will not be spent on salaries or any other operating costs. It will only be used for improvements like playground equipment, park benches, etc. Try it out.
