PARKS & CIVIC CENTER / GOLF COURSE / HEREFORD AQUATIC CENTER

Parks & Civic Center

The function of the City of Hereford Parks Department is to provide maintenance, upkeep, and improvements to the 200+ acres of city parks. The Parks Department also maintains the Civic Center and takes care of all heavy maintenance for the Aquatic Center. Langley Park and Ironwood Park both feature a splash pad, along with pickleball and tennis courts.

The Parks maintained by the department include the Aquatic Park, Dameron, Jaycee, Langley, Mothers, Garden Center, Central, Buena Vista, Veterans, Ironwood, and all-island parks around town. Some of the daily maintenance includes mowing, irrigation repair, watering, tree care, building, and facility maintenance, and snow/ice removal.

The City of Hereford Parks Department proudly hosts two fishing events each year, one in the spring and the other in the fall.

Each day we strive to make our parks and facilities look great, safe, user-friendly, and most of all FUN!! In the future, we hope to replace all old play equipment with modern equipment and have efficient irrigation systems. Our goal is to use as little water as possible and still maintain a nice Park System. We have xeriscaped many low use areas in our continuing effort to conserve water.

CIVIC CENTER

The ballroom is our most requested room with a concrete floor. This room has tables and chairs to sit up to 180 people. The 6 ft rectangular tables hold 6 seats and clients can arrange to suit their meeting/event as they see fit. This room also has an attached warming kitchen at no additional cost. Customers have access to a refrigerator, ice maker, and stove.

The banquet room has seating with 5ft round tables and chairs for up to 448 people. The tables can seat up to 8 people. Unlike the ballroom, it is a carpeted room with lower ceilings to help with the acoustics. This room can be divided in half for smaller events. There is no kitchen attached, but for an additional fee, there is one across the hallway.

The conference rooms are a great place for small meetings to be held. These rooms are set up for up to 12 people. Both offer the use of monitors with an HDMI connection.

The catering kitchen is across the hallway of the banquet room. This kitchen has a commercial refrigerator, freezer, upright food warmer, stove, convection oven, griddle, and coffee maker. There are 3 stations in the center for prep-work and the ability to plug in roaster/crockpots. There are 3 large sinks and dishwashers for use. This kitchen has to be reserved at the time of booking for an additional fee. Customers will need to bring in all supplies needed for their event.

The outdoor courtyard can be accessed from either the ballroom or the banquet room. Patio must be reserved at the time of booking for an additional fee. Only the client who has reserved it will have the right to use it.

Both the ballroom and banquet room can connect to projectors. Sound is not provided. This must be arranged at the time of booking. We do encourage customers to set up a time with us before the event to make sure your laptop and HDMI cable are compatible with our projectors; the Civic Center does not supply these.
