The Parks Division has four shop locations:

• Main Park Shop | 413 S. Bryan Ave.
• Downtown Shop | 220 N. Howes St.
• Fossil Creek Shop | 5833 S. Lemay Ave.
• Spring Canyon Shop | 3156 S. Overland Trl.

Each season, fields that received too much use during the previous season are closed for repair. Repair may mean growing new grass or simply letting the turf "rest." The bollards are a reminder to the community that we are requesting that they not use that particular turf area in order to give the turf a chance to heal in preparation for the next season.

Reservations are only required if you would like exclusive use of a shelter.

There are five shelters in the City that can be reserved:

• Shelter #2 at Rolland Moore Park
• Shelter #7 at City Park
• The lake pavilion at Fossil Creek Park
• The north shelter at Spring Canyon Park
• Shelter #1 at Edora Park. 

All other park shelters are drop-in only (first come first serve.) For more information about our shelters, please see our shelter web page.

The Parks Division will plant new seed or sod in damaged or new turf areas. In order to establish the grass, we have to water it frequently, which includes short watering cycles during the day.

They also perform frequent irrigation checks to ensure the sprinkling systems are watering at an efficient level and conserving water to the utmost extent. This requires turning on the irrigation zones to make sure they are functioning properly.

The water features are open from Memorial Day through Labor Day, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

There are charcoal grills available at the reservable shelters and other various shelters throughout the park system. Guests bring their own charcoal to grill and can leave the coals in that grill after use. Guests can bring in a portable gas grill or charcoal grill as long as something similar to a tarp/cardboard is placed under the grill to catch any grease drippings.  Coals from a personal grill need to be hauled out by the guest.
