MIDLAND, Texas —
As the weather begins to warm up, encouraging West Texans to get out of the house, the City of Midland is reminding residents of several rules at their parks.
Read below to see their guidance:
- Parking in the grassy areas of parks is prohibited, even if only for temporary purposes, such as loading and unloading. To protect the turf and irrigation systems better, vehicles should always remain in parking lots or on roads at all times.
- The Parks Division welcomes events at all city parks, but groups of 25 or more must register with the parks, including, but not limited to, birthday parties, egg hunts or car shows. Not only does this help prevent conflicting events at the same park, but additional permits might also be required depending on the proposed activities. To register, call the Parks Office at 432-685-7356.
- Water activities or attractions and the staking of equipment, such as portable tents and jumpers, are never allowed in parks.
- Park pavilions are available for use, but the city highly recommends renting a pavilion in advance if you would like to secure a location for your special event. Rentals can be made by calling the Parks Office at 432-685-7356 or by clicking or tapping here.
