Bullhead City enhances Rotary Park with new recreational amenities and sports tournaments

The Bullhead City Parks and Recreation Commission convened on April 16, 2025, to discuss various community services and recreational opportunities available to residents and visitors. The meeting highlighted the city's commitment to enhancing local amenities and managing waste services effectively.

One of the key topics addressed was the operational details of Rotary Park, located at 2315 Balboa Drive. The park is open daily from 4:30 AM to 11 PM and serves as a central hub for sports tourism, hosting numerous annual events including AYSO soccer tournaments, pickleball tournaments, and 5K races. The park features 55 acres of lit fields and offers a variety of recreational facilities, including over a mile of public beaches along the Colorado River, a motorized and non-motorized boat dock, and a fishing jetty.

The commission also discussed the solid waste management services provided by Republic Services. Residents are reminded that both blue and green carts are now designated for trash, as residential recycling has been discontinued. Trash collection occurs Monday through Thursday, with specific service areas outlined for each day. Residents are entitled to six bulky item pickups per year, which can be scheduled through the city’s website.

Mayor Tom Brady emphasized Bullhead City's appeal as a recreational destination, noting that the city attracts over three million visitors annually. He encouraged residents and tourists alike to explore the city's outdoor activities, which include hiking, off-roading, and water sports on the Colorado River and Lake Mohave.

The meeting concluded with a reaffirmation of the city's dedication to providing quality recreational spaces and efficient waste management services, ensuring that Bullhead City remains a vibrant community for both residents and visitors.
