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.
Check out our new Spray park and
Frisbee Golf

The
new bike/walking trail
along the eastside of Pomme de Terre Park is now completed. This
addition will complete a 6-mile trail that loops around the park.
