The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department's Feature Friday

Each Friday, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents and visitors to learn more about. This week, we're have some exciting new: we moved!

When the Fire Department moved into their new building, renovations began to turn the old fire station into our new Municipal Services Center! The Municipal Services Center is the new home for Public Works, Parks, Recreation & Forestry, GIS, Stormwater, Sanitary and Engineering office staff. The building is also the new home of the operating staff for Parks, Recreation and Forestry.

Construction took about 5 months and included updating existing spaces as well as creating new ones. The first apparatus bay was enclosed and turned into additional office space. It now holds cubical offices and acts as our employee entrance. The main community space was renovated to include two offices, a lobby, mail station, and a conference room. A new vestibule was also added to the outside of the building. The existing bathrooms, breakroom and back offices were updated and reconfigured to become more functional in the overall office design. The eastern portion of the building was updated to serve as a shop for the Park Maintenance staff.

The old office and garage is still being utilized as a shop and office space for Public Works and Sanitary field staff.
