Lake Havasu City Park Superintendent Guy Reynolds said the parks department is moving forward with several capital projects while continuing routine operations and special-event support.
"We have a few going on right now, the new Site 6 Fishing Docks, the new Phase 2 at Commons, just to name a few," Reynolds said, describing work the city's capital management division is overseeing. Reynolds, who introduced himself as the park superintendent, said his responsibilities cover three divisions: operations, maintenance and construction, plus landscape/horticulture and turf work.
Reynolds, who said he first moved to Lake Havasu in 1965 at age 8, outlined how the department manages facilities such as ball fields and athletic fields and coordinates weekend special events. He clarified that the aquatic center is managed under another division but noted parks staff work closely with public works, streets, police and fire to support events and public safety.
Asked about his tenure, Reynolds said he originally worked for the Lake Havasu City water department beginning in 1986, left in 2000 for other ventures and roles with another municipality, and has been back with Lake Havasu City for "just almost 3 years" in his current role.
Reynolds emphasized the role of teamwork in delivering projects. "The team is really what makes it rewarding, and we're able to get a lot accomplished," he said, thanking colleagues in capital management and other city departments for their cooperation.
In a personal note, Reynolds said he is known locally for hot rodding and drag racing and that he is working on a series of children’s books he plans to write and illustrate after retirement. He also said, "I have a 100 brothers and sisters," a remark included as spoken in the interview.
There were no formal votes or staff directives recorded during the segment. Reynolds did not give project timelines, budgets or contractor names on air; those details were not specified in the interview. The parks department said capital management handles the projects he referenced.
