  • About

    The Mt. Vernon-Black Township Parks and Recreation Department welcomes you to the City of Mt. Vernon website. The Parks Department is made up of individuals that are dedicated to serving the community and providing a variety of recreational opportunities.


    Over the past few years, we have begun to focus on the image of our department and our city. We have made progress, and with the help from the community, we can continue to make improvements to our parks and programs. We will continue to update and change our section of the website and invite your ideas and opinions. Please email us at mvparksandrecreation@gmail.com with any questions.
