It is the mission of Harrisburg Parks and Recreation Department to provide a localized system of parks and recreation resources and services to enhance the quality of life of Harrisburg residents.

The department strives to develop and maintain safe and attractive parks and recreation areas; to partner and cooperate with other town departments, area agencies, sponsors and organizations to address the leisure needs of residents in the most cost-effective manner, and to support the physical, mental, moral and economic health of our community through provision and promotion of special events as well as traditional recreational programs and opportunities.
