MORRIS CITY PARKS – COME PLAY WITH US!

The City of Morris is home to eight parks available for use to area residents.

Park-goers can take part in many activities at these fine parks such as skateboarding, bike trails, family picnics, baseball and softball, camping and soccer just to name a few. Our parks are a great asset to our community and we are proud to have them.
