Parks and Recreation

The Parks & Recreation Department has excellent event spaces for the whole family to enjoy. Our department maintains several lakes to use for many outdoor activities.

Community Centers are available for various activities, including crafts, sports leagues, and fitness classes. We maintain the Sunflower Hills Golf Course, one of the finest public courses in the metropolitan area. Many Neighborhood Parks and athletic complexes round out our extensive park system.

Our respiratory system is hard at work every day, supplying the body with the oxygen it needs to function and carry out living processes. It's also one of our first lines of defense against harmful substances and provides detoxification support, among other things.
