Other irrigated turf - Grass is mown once per week from May to September. Trimming is done approximately 5 times per season. Unirrigated turf requiring regular mowing - Some unirrigated turf areas, such as ball diamond outfields, school grounds and unirrigated athletic fields require regular mowing because of the activities occurring on them. These are mown at three to four week intervals. Trimming is done twice per season.
Scheduled maintenance is rescheduled as soon as weather permits.
The City treats parks with herbicide on a limited, selective basis. In spring we treat areas with the severest infestations. The best time to treat dandelions is in the fall, so in the late summer and fall we systematically treat all open space areas. We treat school grounds and parks adjacent to schools in mid-August so that treatment is complete before school reopens. The park seems dry.
