INFLATABLE/PORTABLE PLAY EQUIPMENT

The City of Las Cruces allows inflatable play equipment at designated sites in Young Park, Pioneer Park, Apodaca Park, and Klein Park. Any business that operates/leases party and or event equipment, i.e. jumping balloons, dunk tanks, sporting equipment, etc., in a City park/facility is required to provide proof of general liability insurance in the amount of three million dollars ($3,000,000) per occurrence, with the City of Las Cruces named as an additional insured with an endorsement page.

The amount of the insurance shall coincide with the limitations of the New Mexico Tort Claims Act, NMSA 1978, Section 41-4-1. This proof of insurance must be forwarded to the Parks and Recreation Department for record keeping. Uninsured businesses may be held personally responsible for injury or damages caused by any uninsured or unauthorized inflatable or portable play equipment.

 VEHICLES AND DRIVING IN CITY PARKS

Driving or parking vehicles on the grass or landscaping located in a City park or on City property is prohibited except during events for which a permit has been granted. Driving on park property results in damage to both turf and irrigation sprinkler systems and can result in costly repairs. Items should be hand carried from the street or parking lot to the interior of a park. This is also true for local businesses that offer tents or other large items for party rentals or other activities. In addition, no parking is allowed on the grass surrounding soccer fields and softball/baseball fields. This section does not apply to City vehicles, emergency vehicles or public utility service vehicles.

WELLNESS PROGRAM

The City of Las Cruces has expanded the current workplace Wellness Program by recognizing the value of improving the health and well-being of its employees. The program is designed to improve employee morale, loyalty, and productivity. Employees have been provided access to physical fitness classes, the weight room and cardio rooms, nutrition classes, diabetes checks, health fairs, sports, and golf opportunities. Staff will continue to seek ways to increase the benefits for City of Las Cruces employees and their family members.

COMMUNITY GARDENING

The City of Las Cruces offers local citizens use of public property for community gardening activities. Gardeners are encouraged to plant vegetables and other annual plants. All gardening participants must be registered annually. All current gardeners can register for one plot from January 3 until January 31. New gardeners can register for any available plots from February 1 until February 28. Beginning March 1, registered gardeners can request a second plot if available. Registration is accepted at the Parks and Recreation Department, 1501 E.

MEMORIAL TREE AND BENCH PROGRAM

The City of Las Cruces offers a Memorial Tree and Bench Program. The Memorial Tree and Bench Program is a wonderful way for all to celebrate, honor or memorialize a special individual or group. With the purchase of a new tree or park bench, the City of Las Cruces Parks and Recreation Department will work with the donor to assure the planting or installing of a new tree or bench in a park, public space, or along a walking trail. In addition, this unique living memorial will also contribute to the beautification of public spaces for countless generations to enjoy.
