The Cedar Rapids Parks and Recreation Department manages
95 parks and trails on over 3,360 acres of land. In addition
to the urban parks of all sizes, there are many acres held
in reserve as undeveloped green space for future park
expansion and flood control. Ball diamonds, restrooms, and playgrounds abound throughout the park system.
The Parks and Recreation Department maintains all weather basketball courts, the trail system, splash pads, sand volleyball courts (at Shaver Park, Foxtrail Park, and Ellis Park), a BMX dirt track at Cheyenne Park, rugby field, an off-leash dog exercise area, 23 pavilions, baseball and softball fields, and picnic areas. The Department also operates 12 spray pools
and 6 splash pads, the Tuma Soccer Complex, Bever Park Children's Zoo, and Noelridge Park Flower Gardens. Two frisbee golf courses are located at Shaver park and Jones park.
The park season for the availability of restrooms, drinking fountains, rental of open-air pavilions, and general day-to-day operating conveniences runs from April
18 through October
11, 2009. As spring unfolds, water is turned on in the larger parks first and the smaller parks follow.
