The Parks & Beaches section of the Maintenance Division is responsible for:

Parks, Beaches, and Greenbelts Maintenance
We develop and implement ongoing maintenance programs for the City park system. We maintain and repair all irrigation systems; respond to citizens' and visitors' questions and suggestions and provide information on public use of beaches and parks; and respond to reports of sick or dead animals. Forty campsites are available at Veteran's Memorial Park.

Special Programs
We supervise the Volunteer Gardener Program, which meets weekly to supervise community volunteers who work at various sites throughout the City's extensive park system (to volunteer call 646.3719 or email our volunteer coordinator). We maintain and coordinate the City's Annual cutting day plant exchange (plant cuttings and tree seedlings); maintain the City's annual Christmas tree recycling and chipping program; offer a free wood chip delivery program (when available, the Parks Division will deliver a supply of wood chips to your driveway); and offer a memorial bench and tree planting program that provides citizens the opportunity to publicly memorialize loved ones.

Cemetery
We offer gravesites, cremain sites (half-graves), columbarium niches and burial services. We also coordinate the installation of headstones and perform general cemetery maintenance. A new lakeside columbarium and burial section is now available. Visit the Cementerio El Encinal Web pages at www.monterey.org/cemetery/

RV Storage Facility
This popular facility at Ryan Ranch is secured with a coded locked gate and motion detector lighting. Open to all Monterey Peninsula residents on a first-come, first-served basis - with priority given to Monterey residents - the lot is currently full. A waiting list has been established.
