About Parks and Grounds

Park maintenance is often a public/private partnership. Many groups adopt parks or certain playing fields and help maintain those facilities. Contractors mow parks regularly. Keep Middletown Beautiful and city crews work together to maintain flower beds and planters throughout the city. Many volunteers add labor and expertise in making the green spaces as beautiful as possible. Shelters in the parks are reserved on a first come, first served basis on the day of your event.
