Parks and Recreation Department Continues to Operate! Our Commitment to You!

We want you to know that the Troy Parks and Recreation programs, activities, and facilities you have long enjoyed and participated in continue to operate!

You can be assured that any programs that are scheduled and promoted will not be cancelled due to budget constraints and you can count on those programs being completed. While the City is facing serious fiscal shortfalls and adjustments may be necessary in the future, those changes will be publicized well in advance so that you can plan accordingly.

Please send us an email with comments and suggestions to ParksAndRecOnline@troymi.gov.
