Sterling City Parks
|
The City of Sterling maintains seven parks in addition to
the parks operated by the Sterling Park District. These are neighborhood parks located
throughout the community. The total land area is in excess of 15 acres. Several years ago,
the City began a multi-year project to upgrade all of our parks. We are installing new
playground equipment, upgrading basketball courts, and putting in new curbs and sidewalks.
Some parks are receiving parking lot upgrades as well. Our plan calls for the addition of
more benches and picnic tables to further encourage park use.
The parks are open from dawn to dusk. Some of our parks host special scheduled events. Our
most popular events are the weekly municipal band concerts held each Wednesday during the
months of June, July, and August at the Grandon Center in Central Park. Each year, the
municipal band draws thousands of listeners for a concert in the park.

park activities, learn more about Parks and
Recreation or more about the Sterling
Park District. |
