The City's Parks
Department maintains all parks, as well as other public areas such as boulevards and the
grounds at City Hall, the Savage Library and the City's two fire stations. A
map is available in .pdf format that shows the locations of Savage's Parks.
Park system
Thirteen parks covering
approximately 260 acres of land comprise the City of Savage park system. The downtown
parks - Warren F. Butler and Hollywood - are the "charter members" of the system. As
the city grew, so did the number of parks in the community.
Parks are open from
7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Dogs must be on leashes and owners must pick up and remove animal feces.
No fires are permitted except in designated areas. Also prohibited are littering, glass
beverage containers, firearms, archery (except at Hidden Valley Park), hunting and
trapping, tents or structures (without permission), snowmobiles, ATV's or motorcycles
(except on roadways and in parking areas). It is unlawful to bring beer into a park
in glass, kegs, barrels or other bulk tap quantities. No consumption is allowed on or
within 30 feet of a roadway or parking lot or on any athletic field.
Recreation programs
Each year approximately
3,500 people participate in activities offered by the Parks and Recreation Department.
Activities include trips, youth and adult athletics, special events, camps and playground
programs. Brochures listing these programs are published and distributed quarterly.
Participants may register at the Public Works Building, 13770 Dakota Avenue, or by mail.
Office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
More information
on the parks in the City of Savage can be found on the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Department pages.
