About

The Parks Department is responsible for managing the parks, green spaces and Borough-owned spaces within Indiana Borough. Here's a closer look:​

​

​Parks & Public Properties

The Parks Department handles all mowing and landscaping of Borough-maintained spaces. The Department is responsible for maintaining our public parks, including monthly maintenance inspections of playgrounds. Parks also assists with snow removal on public properties.

​

Shade Tree Commission

The Parks Department Supervisor serves as the Borough Representative for Shade Tree Commission. In this capacity, the Parks Department informs STC of any tree-related issues in the Borough and can provide the recommendations of, and support to, the Borough Arborist. 

​

Trees

Indiana is designated as Tree City and is commonly referred to as the "Christmas Tree Capital of the World"! It should go without saying that trees are important to us. The Parks Department handles all tree permits (planting, pruning, and utility concerns). The department plants, prunes, and removes at-risk trees. They work closely with the Borough Arborist to determine tree health and needs. ​​​
