Lisbon Parks and Recreation is looking for two-year sponsors for July 2024 to July 2026

Lisbon Parks & Recreation holds a long tradition of recreation programs for children. The purpose of these programs is to encourage teamwork, friendship, sportsmanship and fundamental instruction through a variety of different activities. Last year over 500 children participated thanks to the help and support of all of you!

The department would like to continue these traditions and diversify our activities. Lisbon Parks & Recreation’s goal is to make improvements to parks and green space, provide citizens with new events and programs, and partner with existing organizations. The department is also excited about the new land purchase that the City of Lisbon has made to develop a sports complex. Work on this project has already started.

Anyone who is interested can access the sponsorship form on the city website under pdf’s. This is located on the front page. Red sponsorships and above will get a logo on all of our youth t-shirts, social media exposure, newsletter exposure, and shout outs at our events.

Questions or concerns please email [email protected] or call/text 319-213-4991.
