GRAND ISLAND — The Grand Island Parks and Recreation Department has its sights on the future, and they want you to help shape the vision.

The Parks Division is responsible for all maintenance and management of 34 parks and mini parks, covering a total of 437 acres across Grand Island. This features 22 ball fields, 21 playground, 16 tennis courts and three lakes.
The Recreation Division provides summer youth programs, special events and helps operate the Community Fieldhouse among other things. The division also oversees both Lincoln Pool and the Island Oasis Water Park.
