Reedley Closing All Parks March 30 to April 13 for Fertilization

The City of Reedley will close all city parks from March 30 to April 13, 2026, to allow scheduled fertilization operations, city officials announced. The closures apply to every city-owned park and will include a suspension of routine mowing while fertilization work is underway.

City staff made the plan public on March 3, outlining the exact window for maintenance work. The two-week-plus shutdown covers 15 days of park closures and suspended mowing, during which crews will focus on fertilization and related turf treatments at city facilities.

The temporary suspension of mowing is specifically tied to the fertilization schedule; city maintenance crews will cease grass-cutting activities at park sites to allow application and settling of fertilizer during the March 30 to April 13 period. The City of Reedley characterized the timing as a scheduled operation to be completed within the stated dates.

Reedley residents who use neighborhood greenspaces and athletic fields should note that access will not be available on closed dates and that mowing and turf maintenance will not occur while fertilization is in progress. The closure affects all city parks rather than a limited list of sites, meaning playgrounds, picnic areas, and ball fields under city ownership will be part of the temporary shutdown.

City communications state the parks will be closed through April 13, 2026, with normal access expected after that date. Officials directed the public to observe the closure dates of March 30 to April 13 and to avoid city park properties while crews complete the scheduled fertilization operations.
