What We Do

Park & Facility Patrols

Park Rangers patrol City parks daily, enforcing City ordinances and park rules, inspecting for unsafe conditions, and addressing maintenance concerns. Park Rangers patrol all City facilities and perform after-hour checks for open doors and windows, vandalism, alcohol and skateboard violations, and unsafe conditions. Park Rangers patrol by vehicle and on foot.

Interpretive & Public Outreach

Park Rangers educate the public about the usage of the City's parks and open space. Park Rangers make classroom visits to local schools, lead park tours, and meet with park users in everyday contacts. Park Rangers also monitor park reservations and public events in City parks.
