This department is in charge of the maintenance of all City property including City Hall, and for administration of the following:

recreation centers		parking facilities
golf courses		West Side Market

Because its duties are broad-based, the department offers an array of services. Its diversely talented employees are also charged with planning recreation center activities, evaluating the City's on and off-street parking needs and providing the City with landscaping and site planning capabilities.

Of the various services provided by this department, the Public is probably most familiar with those related to public parking, recreation, West Side Market, cemeteries and the Convention Center.

Whether they are accessed directly by Clevelanders or they work in tandem with other City divisions and departments, all Parks, Recreation and Properties Divisions are essential to the department's success. An Administrative Division implements and monitors all of the services and programs provided by this department.
