Parks & Recreation / Parks
From Founders' Park to the greenway along the Wamapoke, here's every park the department maintains — some more finished than others.
City-Wide
Pawnee's park system ranges from a fully renovated flagship to a greenway that's still mostly a promise. Here's the current state of each.
Flagship
Formerly known to most of Pawnee as "the Pit." Years of construction, budget hearings, and one very determined Deputy Director later, it's now a fully finished park with a walking path, footbridge, and open lawn.
Established
Home to the city pool, youth sports fields, and most of the department's summer programming. The busiest park in Pawnee by a wide margin, especially during swim season.
Mixed Use
A small mini-golf course sitting on a lot whose ownership and purpose have both changed more than once. Currently recreational; historically, contested.
Sponsored
A youth baseball diamond funded by, and named after, the Sweetums Candy Factory. Concessions are, unsurprisingly, extremely well stocked.
In Progress
A planned walking and biking trail along the river, currently about sixty percent complete. Has been "currently sixty percent complete" for a while now.
