This includes General Use Parks, Golf Courses, Special Use Parks, Developed Natural Area Parks, and Undeveloped Natural Areas. The Park Commission has established a tradition of
providing quality and unique programs. Therapeutic Recreation provides year round activities and events for children and adults with developmental disabilities, as well as a summer camp for children who have a learning dis

ability or Aspergers Syndrome. Environmental Education offers programs focusing on local environmental issues, archeology, outdoor education, and bringing nature to children of all ages. Lessons and clinics are offered at many of the facilities, aimed at introducing people to a variety of recreation skills. Special events are also conducted by the Park Commission. The most known of these include the Free Summer Concert Series, the Fourth of July Family Festival, the 1770s Festival, and the Golf Tournaments. Twenty others are also held each year, each with its own distinctive focus. We invite you to examine the events, programs, and facilities listed within.

What a beautiful day for the annual Rose Day Festival in the Rudolf W. van der Goot Rose Garden at Colonial Park Gardens this past Saturday!🌹

Despite the late season freezes that impacted many of this year’s roses, the garden still delivered a spectacular display as countless blooms persevered and burst into color for visitors to enjoy.

A special thank you to the dozens of gardeners, seasonal staff, and volunteers whose hard work and dedication made this event such a tremendous success. Their efforts help keep the garden looking its very best (despite the weather) creating memorable experiences for all visitors.

If you missed the festival, there’s still time to see the garden in bloom! Take a stroll through the garden’s stunning collection of roses and immerse yourself in their vibrant colors and delightful fragrances.
