Parks:

n April 3, 1945, the Belleville Parks and Recreation Department began a proud tradition of community service. Created to provide the residents of Belleville with wholesome recreational opportunities regardless of race, creed, sex, age or physical capabilities. The Parks and Recreation Department has dominion over the park lands within the city limits of Belleville, an area covering approximately 14 square miles.

Funded primarily through taxation, the essence of the Parks and Recreation Department's mission is to provide wholesome recreational resources in a fiscally responsible manner without compromising the health and safety of staff members or park users or the health and beauty of the environment.
