NO PARKING ON GRASS IN CITY PARKS!

The City of Benton Harbor is reminding residents and visitors that parking on the grass in city parks is not allowed.

Parking on grassy areas can cause damage to park grounds, create safety concerns, and impact the overall experience for others using these shared community spaces. Please use designated parking areas when visiting our parks.

We appreciate everyone doing their part to help keep our parks clean, safe, and enjoyable for all. If you have any questions, please contact City Hall.
Thank you for helping us take care of Benton Harbor’s public spaces.
