Our Mission is to work within our resources and in partnership with the community to provide diverse, wholesome and safe recreational activities and facilities that enrich quality of life. We strive to meet our mission through the divisions of Parks, Recreation, Cemetery, Golf and Shooting Sports.
The Parks Division is responsible for all maintenance and management of 34 parks and mini parks covering over 437 acres. The Grand Island Cemetery is a 90-acre tract. The division is responsible for the maintenance, upkeep of the land, facilities, and for the interment of over 150 individuals annually. The Recreation Division provides programs, special events and oversees both the Community Fieldhouse, Lincoln Pool and Island Oasis Waterpark. Jackrabbit Run Golf Course is a 175-acre, 18-hole championship course that provides over 30,000 rounds of golf each year. The Heartland Public Shooting Park consists of 420 acres of land. Improvements to the site include six skeet ranges, eight trap ranges, a ten station sporting clays course, rifle and pistol ranges, a seven acre lake, RV campground and archery venue.
