“Play for adults is recreation – the renewal of life. For children it is growth – the gaining of life.” Joseph Lee
The Green River Park System has come a long way since it was established in the 1970’s. Our forefather’s vision was to incorporate a vital community with adequate public parks and open spaces to provide every Green River citizen with the opportunity to enjoy nature without traveling far from home. Today our park system is composed of 28 parks, including a number of public open spaces that total over 765 acres of developed and undeveloped park land. Our City limits encompass approximately 15 square miles. A system of greenways or recreation corridors consisting of small parcels of open space land, were planned to ultimately connect many of the City’s major parks and provide bicycling, horseback riding and walking opportunities to citizens. Green River Parks and Recreation Department acts as stewards for this land, as well as for our riparian and urban forest system, by maintaining the landscape of over 765 acres of property. The City of Green River Parks and Recreation Department offers recreational opportunities to its citizens that range from both organized active recreational opportunities and individual activities. For example: a 54,000 square foot Recreation Center, a 5,000 square foot Historical Indoor Pavilion rental facility (which is used for weddings, dances, family reunions and banquets) and nine softball/baseball/athletic fields. Numerous other leisure pursuits and offerings include: hiking, biking, greenbelt pathways and open space trails are available to citizenry. Parks and natural areas designated as Nature and Open Space (passive and leisure recreational opportunities) make up nearly 80% of the total park acreage and offers citizens an opportunity to experience wildlife and plants in a natural setting. All facets of recreation, whether passive or active, can be found in this guide. Staff takes pride in working to provide Green River with a nationally Accredited Parks and Recreation Department with a system of parks, recreation and leisure opportunities that add enrichment to the lives of all its citizens. Thank you for your continued support. Remember… Parks and Recreation… The Benefits Are Endless!!! Enthusiastically, Walt Bratton Walt Bratton, CPRP, Director of Parks and Recreation City of Green River, Wyoming

During Each Showcase cycle, the artwork is available for purchase by the public. If the artwork sells, the Green River Arts Council receives 20% of the selling price and the artist receives 80%. As of January 2010, the Green River Arts Council has purchased 20 pieces. For more information on the Sculpture Showcase program or the Green River Arts Council contact the Parks and Recreation office at (307) 872-6151.
