The Professional Grounds Management Society (PGMS) recognized the City of Norman Parks & Recreation Department with an Exceptional Grounds Maintenance Honor Award during the society’s 2022 Green Star Awards Celebration earlier this month.

“Our Parks Division takes great pride in the work they do and the community they serve,” said Parks & Recreation Director Jason Olsen. “We are honored by this award and commend the hard work of Parks & Facilities Manager Wade Thompson and his entire team. Their efforts in keeping parks, playgrounds and recreational areas in top shape around our community are recognized and widely appreciated.”

The Green Star Awards competition and program brings national recognition to grounds maintained with a high degree of excellence, complimenting other national landscape award programs that recognize outstanding landscape design and construction. The City of Norman was one of 19 agencies to receive an honor award.

Innovative planning and development for area parks and quality of life items are ongoing with several Norman Forward projects currently in the works, and master plan processes on the horizon. For the latest in all these Norman Parks & Recreation, visit NormanParks.com.
