Parks, Recreation & Forestry

The Green Bay Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department endeavor to enrich the quality of life to all people by creatively providing and enhancing leisure opportunities!

The City of Green Bay partnered to create a parks prescription (Rx) program called Green Bay Parks Rx-a local, clinically-based effort to encourage balanced, healthy lifestyles and help prevent obesity. By linking together the health care system and The City of Green Bay Parks and Recreation Department, Green Bay Parks Rx is a prescription for families to get more active in the Green Bay area.

Chill Chaser

Join us for our first-annual Chill Chaser! From January 1 – March 31, 2019, twenty parks around Green Bay will have a symbol hanging in the shelter window. Visit those parks and draw the symbols on the Chill Chaser chart (below).

Once you have visited at least five parks, bring the chart to Green Bay City Hall, Room 510, to receive a prize and be entered into a drawing to win a $25 Parks & Rec gift card! A winner will be selected every month for the next three months. To increase your chance of winning, visit more parks! Earn an additional entry for every five parks visited:
• 5 parks = 1 entry
• 10 parks = 2 entries
• 15 parks = 3 entries
• 20 parks = 4 entries

Check out which bus routes you can take to get to different parks.
