Important Park User Information

Frequent park users need to note several informational items.

 Park Restrooms

As the days grow shorter and it gets dark sooner, the park restrooms will begin to close a little earlier.  When it comes time for freezing weather, most restrooms will be winterized and closed so the pipes don’t freeze.  “For those who enjoy the parks, please keep an eye out   for vandalism, a big problem in our parks”, says Jan Scott with parks and recreation.  “Help us keep the parks nice for the community and report vandals to the police department”, she states.

Dogs in the Park

Yukon dogs enjoy the parks as much as their owners.  There are a few requests from the City when you bring your canines out to recreate.  All dogs in the park are required to be on a leash at all times.  Patrons are asked to pick up after their dogs to make sure the parks stay clean for everyone.

 Five Year Park Plan

In five years, how do you visualize your parks and what amenities do you want to see in the parks? 

Do you want several splash pads, more walking trails, better sports facilities? Does the Yukon Community Center meet the needs of the community?  What does it need to meet its mission or is it inadequate? Does the Jackie Cooper Gym need a game room and weight room? These questions are being asked of citizens of Yukon.  We want to hear from YOU!

Yukonites are asked to take a vested interest in their beautiful parks and give the City suggestions for the future.
