Parks infrastructure replacement program

Parks Infrastructure Replacement Program

Parks maintains more than 966 acres of parks and 45 miles of off-street hike/bike trails. Have you ever wondered how Parks ensures the amenities (assets) in the park are kept to current standards and playgrounds are "refreshed" with new equipment?  

It's all done through the Parks Infrastructure Replacement Program (IRP).
