Parks Management Program <br /> A four level system designed for identifying and/or prescribing specific levels of cultural <br /> treatments to turf and grounds to achieve desired goals based upon the intensity of use,public <br /> visibility, and aesthetic considerations. The following are a description of this system. <br /> LEVEL I <br /> This highest level of maintenance is performed at our large community parks and/or athletic _ <br /> complexes. Turf areas subjected to frequent and intense levels of use throughout a majority of <br /> the growing season. Commonly associated with athletic field sites programmed for organized <br /> sports. Maintenance at this level maintains the park or facility at a standard sufficient to ensure <br /> a well-kept appearance. Maintenance issues &concerns are given a high priority. Parks <br /> categorized in this level: <br /> CUMMINGS, CHARLES PERRY, HAZELNUT <br /> 1. TURF CARE. Premium quality turf management under a program of intense cultural <br /> treatments. Mowing to take place every three to five days. Aeration as required, not <br /> less than two times per.year. Trimming to take place weekly at a minimum. Top <br /> dressing, seeding, and sodding as needed. <br /> 2. FERTILIZER. Turf is fertilized three times per year. Broadleaf and other weed control <br /> as needed, usually two times per year <br /> 3. IRRIGATION. Systems to be used and in good repair as to conserve water and irrigate <br /> only when needed to maintain high quality turf, usually done every two to three days. <br /> Systems are monitored daily during peak season. Maintenance activities include head <br /> repairs & adjustments, nozzle replacement, flow adjustments and vandalism repairs. <br /> 4. GARBAGE AND LITTER. Garbage and litter is picked up daily, subject to variability <br /> based on weather and scheduled uses. Extremely high visitation may increase frequency. <br /> 5. PRUNING. Frequency dictated primarily by species and variety of trees and shrubs. <br /> 6. LIGHTING. Damaged systems should be repaired as quickly as they are discovered. <br /> Bulb replacement should be done during the first working day after the outage is <br /> reported. <br /> 7. SURFACES. Sweeping, cleaning, and washing of surfaces needs to be done so that at <br /> no time does an accumulation of sand, dirt, glass, or leaves distract from the looks or <br /> safety of the area. Repainting or re-staining of structures should occur when weather or <br /> wear deteriorate the appearance of the covering. Graffiti should be washed off or painted <br /> over by the next working day. <br /> 3 <br />
