Park Division:

The Parks Division is responsible for the maintenance of the City's parks and open spaces. Parks must be kept in a clean, safe, and aesthetically pleasing condition in order to provide an enjoyable experience for the patron. The Parks staff is responsible for the maintenance of parks, medians, and selected City facilities. The landscaping of medians and park entrances is necessary to provide a favorable and lasting impression of the City of Bedford by residents and visitors.

The facilities under Parks' direct care require maintenance in many areas including, but not limited to, building repairs, irrigation, electric, plumbing, woodwork, light bulb changes, etc. Parks oversees city tree-trimming because branches are protruding into streets, causing damage to fire trucks and high profile vehicles. Dead trees in the city rights-of-way must also be removed.
