The City of Mount Vernon Parks Department will begin winterizing City parks on Wednesday, November 9, 2022. The water to the restrooms and drinking fountains at City parks will be turned off due to the freezing temperatures forecast. It is necessary to turn off the water and winterize the restrooms and drinking fountains in order to prevent water from freezing in the pipes.
From November 15 until the first Monday of April, the parks will be open winter hours: 6:00 am – 7:00 pm. The restrooms and drinking fountains will reopen in the spring, as the weather permits.
