The Parks Division, is entrusted with the maintenance of the following:

  • Fred Baca Park

The Parks Division also maintains the trash cans at the following locations: Dunn Street parking lot, Our Lady of Guadalupe parking lot, Kit Carson Road and Bent Street. We are also responsible for the care and maintenance of the main public restrooms in the downtown area.

Daily maintenance of the parks includes grass cutting, tree trimming, litter patrol and the monitoring of events.

Ultimately the primary function of the Parks Department is to maintain all of the Town of Taos parks and keep them "Clean, Green and Safe".
