Sparks Parks to Trim Hours

In a recent press release, the City of Sparks announced coming reductions in hours of operation at the Parks and Recreation Department. An alternative work schedule will be implemented starting Monday, September 29, switching recreation and administrative employees to four 10 hour days. This will change the hours of operation at certain facilities and include some Friday closures. These changes are a cost cutting measure that will save an estimated $80,000 per year. The Recreation Office, at 98 Richards Way, will begin extended hours of 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Sparks residents will still be able to register for most programs on the Parks and Recreation website. For registration information, call (775) 353-2376.
