Every two months the City of Artesia publishes a community newsletter called the Artesian. In each issue page 4 is reserved for information regarding the Parks and Recreation Department Activities. You can find a copy of the Artesian in your mailbox, at City Hall, Artesia Park or AJ Padelford Park.
The Parks and Recreation Department also produces a Quarterly brochure which includes all community events, recreation classes, and adult and youth sports activities happening during the quarter. You can pick up a copy of the brochure at either park, or you can download it here:
