Policies and Missions Statement

City of Demopolis Parks and Recreation

9/19/02

 

      

          The City of Demopolis Parks and Recreation Department operates all of its parks and facilities for family fun, health, and recreation.  We promote the building of sound minds and bodies for the young and old through exercise, recreation, and use of these facilities.  Any activity that is contrary or offensive to this family and health oriented theme is prohibited.

 

          All of the Parks and Recreation facilities are open to the public without regards to race, religion, gender, age, or those physical challenged.  Most are open during daylight hours on a first come first serve basis at no charge.

          Any use that may require exclusive access, lighting, or special equipment for a facility must be scheduled and approved through the PARD office at 289-2891, Mon.- Fri. 8:00am to 3:00pm, and may require a fee.

          All league use is scheduled through the PARD office with seasonal preference given to league play.

          The PARD is owned and operated by city tax dollars, and local use will be given consideration over outside use.

          The Parks and Recreation Board does have the right to refuse use of any of its facilities if it feels that the facility will be damaged beyond normal repair, if a group has violated policies in the past, or if it feels it is not in the best interest of the city to do so. 

          Guidelines for specific facilities are available at the PARD office located at the Demopolis Sports-Plex.
