- City of Middleton residents, through property taxes, make a significant contribution to the operations of the parks and recreation system. Non-resident fees are charged so non-resident participants can fairly contribute to the overall financing of the park and recreation system.
Falsification of Information: The City of Middleton Parks & Recreation Department reserves the right to remove anyone falsifying information from our programs, and may require residency verification (i.e. driver’s license or utility bill).
