Town of Meeker Assumes Management of Local Parks System

Town of Meeker — The Town of Meeker is pleased to announce that it will assume full management and maintenance responsibilities for seven community parks previously overseen by the ERBM Parks and Recreation District.

Effective June 1, 2026, the Town’s Public Works Department will oversee operations at the following locations: Town Park, Circle Park, Sanderson Park, 6th Street Field, Foothills Park, Sage Hills Park, and McHatton Park.

This transition reflects the Town’s commitment to maintaining these valued public spaces for residents and visitors. The Town of Meeker is committed to maintaining a parks system that enhances our residents’ quality of life. The Town will provide parks that are safe, and accessible, that offer a variety of recreation, playground and greenspace opportunities for people of all ages.

“We recognize how important these parks are to our community, and our visitors.” said Mayor Travis Day. “Our parks are a wonderful gathering place for local clubs, youth sports, daily walks and much more. Our goal is to make the transition seamless to the community and continue providing high-quality spaces for recreation, events, and everyday enjoyment.

Citizens and groups that utilize these spaces are encouraged to contact the Town about future use. Additionally park pavilion reservations for Town Park, Circle Park and Sanderson Park will be available by calling 970-878-5344 or by visiting the Town’s official website at www.townofmeeker.org.

The Town appreciates the efforts and contributions of the ERBM Parks and Recreation District in developing and maintaining these parks over the years. We are proud to continue the tradition of offering great outdoor recreation.

The Town of Meeker encourages our citizens to be Water Wise!

Don't Water Daily
Native and water-wise plants don't need daily watering and your lawn doesn't either. Water sparingly and only in the early morning or evening to reduce evaporation.

Working together we can conserve water this summer!

The Town of Meeker encourages our citizens to be Water Wise!!!

💐🌾Use Annuals Strategically🌾💐

Limit annual flowers to pots and containers. This keeps high-water plants contained, easier to irrigate, and useful as bright focal points without watering large areas.

Working together we can conserve water this summer!

Great information from Rio Blanco County's Emergency Manager!

FIRE READY: Part 1 🔥
Check out Emergency Manager Rich Garner's 'blog' for tips:

"Wildfire mitigation is not about preventing wildfire entirely—it is about hardening your home and property so it can withstand ember exposure or a passing ground fire..."

The Town of Meeker encourages our citizens to be Water Wise!

🌿🌲Right Size Your Lawn🌲🌿
Keep lawn where it's functional (play areas, gathering space) and replace it where it's purely decorative. Replacing unused turf with native planting can cut outdoor water use dramatically.

🌿🌲Plant Local and Water Wise 🌲🌿
Replace thirsty lawn wit native perennials and drought-tolerant grasses that are adapted to local soils, temperature swings, and limited rainfall. These plants return year after year with far less water.
