Mission Statement

The West Union Parks and Recreation Department is dedicated to providing fitness and leisure activities that promote a healthier lifestyle. The programs will include a balance of athletic, education, and recreation activities which will be properly supervised and supported financially by the board.



Welcome

Welcome to the West Union Parks and Recreation Web site.  This site has been created to inform you of what programs we offer, the schedules of all the programs offered, and downloadable sign-up forms.

Clark Park renovations have just about been completed. The new equipment is up, grass is growing, and we are working on grading the rest of the park. The basketball court will be poured in the Spring of 2013 as will the new floor in the shelter. This is all dependent on funding received. Donations can be made to West Union Parks and Recreation to help complete this project. Check out the new and old structures here [Clark Park].
