The Department of Parks & Recreation is responsible for the upkeep of all Kirkwood's parks and public recreation facilities, such as the Community Center (where its offices are located) tennis courts, acquatic center, etc. The Department also offers residents and non-residents alike many programs and classes throughout the year including fitness, dancing, tennis classes and much more. Also under its purview is the annual Greentree Festival, an extremely popular event held every September in Kirkwood Park that offers live music and endless activities for all ages that highlight the community's volunteer residents and non-profit organizations.
