Parks l��Iana ement Pro ram <br />� � <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 subj ectec� to frequent and intense levels of use throughout a maj ority 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 �ve days. Aeration as required, not less than <br />two times per year. Trimming to take place weekly at a minimum. Top dressing, seeding, and <br />sodding as needed. <br />2. FERTILIZER. Turf is fertilized three times per year. Broadleaf and other weed control as <br />needed, usually two times per year <br />3. IRRIGATION. Systems to be used and in good repair as to conserve water and irrigate only <br />when needed to maintain high quality turf, usuaily done every two to three days. Systems are <br />�on�tor�d da.il� du�ing pea� season. �ai�tenan�� a�����ti�s �nclude �ea.d repa.��s � a.djustments, <br />nozzle replacement, flow adjustments and vandalism repairs. <br />4. GARBAGE AND LITTER. Garbage and litter is picked up daily, subj ect to variability based <br />on weather and scheduled uses. Extremely high visitation may increase frequency. <br />5. RECYCLING. Recycling bins will be placed at the picnic pavilions/shelters and all ball fields. <br />They will be picked up at the same time as the garbage and litter. <br />6. PRUNING. Frequency dictated primarily by species and variety of trees and shrubs. <br />7. LIGHTING. Damaged systems should be repaired as quickly as they are discovered. Bulb <br />replacement should be done during the first working day after the outage is reported. <br />8. SIGNS. Signs that are fully exposed and south facing could be painted every 8 years or so. <br />Borders can be recoated every 3 years or so. Posts can be recoated every 2-3 years. <br />9. SURFACES. Sweeping, cleaning, and washing of surfaces needs to be done so that at no time <br />does an accumulation of sand, dirt, glass, or leaves distract from the looks or safety of the area. <br />Repainting or re-staining of structures should occur when weather or wear deteriorate the <br />appearance of the covering. Graffiti should be washed off or painted over by the next working <br />day. <br />3 <br />
