The Parks & Recreation Department is responsible for special events, park programming, and maintenance at the City’s six parks and two nature sanctuaries. The Parks & Recreation crew maintains the park grounds, landscaping, shelters, restrooms, and amenities, including baseball and soccer fields, volleyball, pickleball and basketball courts, playgrounds, and dog parks.
The Department also oversees the Parkville Nature Sanctuary, a wildlife preserve and educational site developed and maintained by the City with the help of a group of extraordinary volunteers.
Please contact City Hall at (816) 741-7676 if you have lost any items (ie: phone, keys, clothing, etc.) at one of our parks. All lost and found items are collected and held at the front desk of City Hall.
