Since the beginning of recorded community history, the community and it&#8217;s local government have been very pro-recreation. Although greater diversity of interests and needs of users make it more challenging for parks and recreation officials in lean economic times, Caribou&#8217;s park and recreation program continues to be one of the most successful in the State of Maine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Parks and Recreation Department is overseen by a five member Park &amp; Recreation Commission which is an all volunteer entity appointed by the Caribou City Council. The Commission works directly with the director and staff of the department to make decisions regarding budgeting and policy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This web site describes some of the activities that are available to Caribou area residents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Persons desiring further information regarding specific programs or wishing to make suggestions or offer assistance for specific programs should contact the Caribou Parks and Recreation office at (207) 493-4224.<\/p>\n<hr size=\"3\" width=\"100%\" \/>\n<h6><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"line-height: normal;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Caribou Parks &amp;
