About

The Park Bureau takes care of our city's parks, making them safe, clean, and beautiful for everyone to enjoy. From managing the green spaces to creating recreational areas, we aim to offer modern and inviting places for people to relax and have fun outdoors.

When you visit our parks, feel free to enjoy nature by walking on the grass, appreciating the flowers, and sitting on the benches.
