Can you tell me what the city uses for fertilizer on the park lawns please. I particularly admire Bear Creek Park grounds. Thank you very much for any information you may be able to provide.
Hi Ray,
You would have to contact the parks department directly, as I have no idea. Also, Bear Creek Park is a county park, so you would need to contact El Paso County Parks about that park.
Thanks for listening!
Bob
