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.

Upcoming Events

Heathwood Spray Park Celebration

11 Jun 2025 We’re excited to share the updated design for Heathwood Spray Park, featuring three new play zones for toddlers, all ages, and kids 7 and up. These additions will bring safe, engaging water fun for the whole community.

This project was made possible in part by funding from the ARPA Grant.

Join us for the official unveiling and help celebrate this exciting neighborhood upgrade!
