The City of Farmington is responsible for grounds maintenance of 73 public park properties and facilities - developed or undeveloped. This page is currently under development to be much more inclusive and informative - so check back for updates!
The park shelter reservation system begins taking reservations on the first Monday in February at 8:30 a.m. Reserving a park shelter for family picnics, reunions, and church meetings has never been easier since moving the reservation desk to the Farmington Museum and Visitors Center at Gateway Park. Business hours at Gateway allow the public more access to the Reservation staff. The facility is open on weekends and has extended summer hours.
