Venus Park is home to the town’s most widely used sports and event field. As a result of such heavy use, the field is in need of more extensive care to restore it to a healthy and vital condition.
New Mexico State University field experts were consulted. They recommended tasks to complete and to allow a period of rest for the field to recover. The field maintenance will include aeration, soil amendment, seeding, and time for germination. These tasks must coincide with seasonal timing to be effective.
Closure March 1 - May 1: The sports field at Venus Park will be closed to use while the maintenance department under-takes the required multi-phase seasonal groundskeeping effort.
While the field is closed, the Pavilion and nearby trails will remain available for use. Please stay off the grass and keep dogs on leash at Pavilion and on trails.
