Parks & Recreation

COVID-19 UPDATE

Please remember that even as we begin to resume activities in our parks and facilities that social distancing, wearing a face covering while in public, and personal hygiene (washing hands, covering coughs/sneezes) remains the most important aspects of keeping yourself and others safe. We strongly encourage all residents to assist us in the safe use of our parks and facilities so that they can remain open!

While traditional, large-scale special events sponsored by the Parks Department were not offered through most of 2020, our Department was able to help provide a creative alternative for the Christmas holiday with a "Reverse" Christmas Parade!

Please continue to follow updates through this page and our Department’s other social media outlets for the latest information.

What’s currently open?

• All Parks facilities (Bartlett Recreation Center, Bartlett Senior Center, and Singleton Community Center) are open for members only with some restrictions including limited capacity and reservation requirements for some classes and activities.
• All greenways, parks, and walking paths remain open.
• Restrooms at W.J. Freeman Park and Municipal Park are open.
