Public Works - Parks

Biggs has three city parks -- quite a complement for a small community.

• Family Park is owned and operated by the city on a city block bounded by B and C, and Eighth and Ninth Streets. Completed in 2006, this park features a skate park, playground, basketball half-court, gazebo, and picnic tables. The park shares the site of the city's 1936 city hall/jail building, a historic treasure waiting to be restored.
  
  
• Downtown's "Pocket Park" is the centerpiece of the business district and site of the living City Christmas Tree. A tree lighting ceremony the first week of December celebrates this small park's delightful display of holiday decorations.
  
  
• Rio Bonito Park is also maintained by the city, although it is on school district property, adjacent to the baseball and football fields. Rio Bonito was recently refurbished through a public-private partnership between the city and SunWest Milling, resulting in new picnic tables and improvements to the parking area, the restrooms and the playground.

A picnic bench and shaded grassy area is also open to the public just behind the library and teen activity center on B Street. The city is planning an additional playground park for the Trent Street neighborhood.

City public works crews perform all the park maintenance.
