We look forward to working with other area agencies and departments to help enhance the overall quality of life. We believe in being honest, positive, and responsive to the needs and interests of the public.

No Trash Cans at the Facilities

There are no garbage cans at Sparta Recreation’s parks facilities, due to the escalating bear issue with the garbage. We are carry in and carry out until further notice. Please do not leave any garbage bags in the park. Thank you.
