The Parks Division in Glendale uses cross-training opportunities for staff to increase individual skills, abilities and pursue new interests in their work. Cross training allows for multiple layers of skill sets to create the most efficient team of staff. Examples include playground inspectors trained to pour, finish and repair concrete and arborists repairing sprinkler irrigation systems in park turf areas. Most recently, Park’s employees were trained to administer some Park Ranger duties. This allows the Parks Division to increase park rule enforcement and public relations in your parks. We are happy to provide this extra support in the Glendale parks for you and your families.

PArtNerS N’ PArKS PrOgrAm Individuals, families, schools, neighborhood groups and businesses can participate in the Partners N’ Parks program.This unique program provides opportunities for volunteer groups to volunteer time to improve their favorite park. Corporations and business can also participate through in-kind donations and sponsorship opportunities tailored to meet individual company goals and missions. Examples of this are park clean-up days, upgrades to picnic areas, caring for or planting roses or maintaining trails. To find the best project for your community group or business, contact Paul King at 623-930-4203 or [email protected].

DeDiCAte-A-tree PrOgrAm Glendale lost several trees due to the rare freezing conditions in early 2013. The Lorax is working hard to help replace many of these shade trees in our parks, but he could use your help. Through the Dedicate-a-Tree program, you can help increase trees in your parks and recognize individuals, clubs and businesses. This program allows you to choose the type of tree and/or the park(s) that you would like the tree(s) planted. Your donation of $300 per tree will help bring shade to picnic areas, reduce carbon dioxide levels, improve home values, reduce the “heat island” effect and improve the park experience for you and your neighbors. Visit www.glendaleaz.com/ParksandRecreation/DedicateaTree.cfm or contact Paul King at 623-930-4203 or [email protected] to get your tree planting project going today! The Lorax and the City of Glendale thank you!

Some of the parks in Glendale utilize “flood irrigation” to keep the parks looking green from May to October. Once the parks are irrigated, it usually takes 2-3 days before they are useable again. To view the flood irrigation schedule for the 2013/14 season, go to www.glendaleaz.com/ParksandRecreation/parksandfacilities/documents/IrrigationSchedule.pdf

To view the mowing schedule for your park, you may go to www.glendaleaz.com/ParksandRecreation/parksandfacilities/documents/Mowingschedule.pdf. This schedule is subject to change based on weather and turf conditions.
