A huge thank you to the incredible students who volunteered their time and energy to help serve our community. Seeing students from different schools come together, encourage one another, and work side by side for something bigger than themselves was truly special.

The teamwork and heart shown today made a real impact, and it did not go unnoticed. We’re so grateful for everyone who helped make our community better. 💚

Happy Mother's Day from Burlington Parks and Recreation. Enjoy the day!

Thank you all so much for the support of our parks and for helping spread the word following the vandalism at Crapo Park. We truly appreciate everyone who reached out, shared the post, and continue to care so deeply about our parks and public spaces!

Another huge thank you to the Burlington Iowa Police Department for their work in this!

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever hear of something happening in our parks or see activity that doesn’t seem right.

Crapo Park was vandalized, and our crews are spending the entire day fixing damage that never should have happened. Pieces of a broken taillight were found at the scene, so the vehicle involved is likely missing one.

This kind of damage isn’t free. It costs time and taxpayer dollars that should be going toward improving our parks, not repairing them.

If you have any information, please contact us.
