The goal of the Parks and Recreation Department is to provide a variety of active and passive park facilities and programs to accommodate the needs, interests and expectations of local residents and other users.The focus is centered upon the proper development and maintenance of the City's "state of the art" parks and greenways totaling 575+ acres located throughout Brentwood. The grounds and facilities provide for opportunities to enjoy social, cultural, athletic and/or nature oriented activities through individual or organized group participation without having to travel great distances.The department also cooperates with volunteer and other community groups in the provision of youth and adult activities, programs and special events at various park facilities.
