The City of Douglas has contracted Wild Wood Tree Services, and will be

trimming, and/ or removing "Parkway Trees".

Parkway trees are trees, generally located in the area between the sidewalk and

curb. Per city ordinance, it states that the responsibility for maintenance of

these areas lies upon the adjacent property owners/residents.

The City of Douglas has established a hazardous tree mitigation program, to

potentially run the course of the next three years, to cover the cost of this

action to help reduce some of the potential risk for accidents or injury. It is

impossible to determine the failure of a tree, as a healthy tree, by appearance,

can unexpectedly pose a hazard. It is our goal to reduce some of the risk and

maintain a healthy tree canopy for our community, and the future of our

community.

If you have noticed a red mark on a tree, it means; that tree has been selected

for removal. We will be working in quadrants and will be marking the trees as

work progresses.

Trees offer so many beneficial factors to our environment. We hope you will

consider our cost share 50/50 replant program. More information is available

on the City of Douglas' web site, regarding this program, or you may contact

the Parks Dept. with any questions.

The Douglas Community Center is coming to life as a vibrant new hub designed to bring the entire community together. Anchored by a welcoming indoor “Douglas Plaza,” the center features three multi-use courts, flexible community rooms, a suspended running track, and inviting spaces for art, events, and everyday connection. Thoughtfully designed to serve all ages, the facility extends beyond its walls into a future community park with trails, gathering lawns, and performance spaces—creating a place where recreation, culture, and community spirit intersect and grow for generations to come.
