Parks and Facilities
The City of Northampton's Recreation Department runs the programs and classes at the various city sites.
The Department of Public Works (DPW) is in charge of all maintenance of the facilities through the Parks and Cemetery Division of the DPW. Although the Recreation Department and the DPW Parks and Cemetery Division are two entirely separate departments, they work together to provide quality parks and recreation facilities for all to enjoy.
The Office of Planning and Sustainability also teams up with the Recreation Department to enhance and provide passive and active recreational opportunities in the City.
