The City of St. Joseph is fortunate to have 16 designated park and lakefront properties encompassing approximately 200 plus acres available to the public to enjoy.

Recreational activities and events are held at these various parks.  Additional information and registration for recreational programming is available here. 

The Parks & Cemetery Division is the crew assigned the task of maintaining these properties and their amenities which include restrooms, playground equipment, interactive and ornamental fountains, ball fields and courts, trails, picnic tables, swings, benches, picnic pavilions, flowers and landscaping beds and a community band amphitheater.
