Congratulations to Redmond Parks – Operations!

Thank you! Your chemical management practices protect people, water and wildlife. Redmond residents can play in parks managed with few to no pesticies.

Redmond Parks – Operations recently became an EnviroStars (EnviroStars.org) certified business. This means they have proven to an outside agency that they manage chemicals in a manner that is safer for their staff and the environment.That fits right in with staff at Redmond Parks managing park land in Redmond in a way that uses few to no pesticides. To find a park where kids can play worry-free, visit the Pesticide-Free Places map (lhwmp.org/home/PFParks/index.aspx).  Search by zip code or place name for 29 parks and natural areas in Redmond.
