Yuma Parks and Recreation

Yuma Parks and Recreation is conducting a feasibility study to explore the potential development of a new aquatic facility in the City. Community input is an important part of this process and will help identify the types of aquatic opportunities, programs, and amenities that residents would like to see in the future.

The City has partnered with BerryDunn, a national consulting firm specializing in parks and recreation, to complete the study. This effort will evaluate Yuma’s current aquatic facilities and programs to better understand how well they are meeting community needs and whether additional facilities may be needed.
