The City of Watertown works to create parks at a neighborhood scale through the entire community as a way to provide amenities to the residents of the City. Sec 52-166 (Parks) in the City of Watertown ordinances states that all subdivisions must dedicate land for parks, playgrounds, public open spaces and trails as a prerequisite to having the development approved. For the full city code on parks and residential developments, please see the City's online code.

The Parks Commission and City Council approved a park plan for Kings Highland Park in June 2007.

Riverpointe Park - Fishing Blocks
The City, along with the DNR, installed fishing blocks along the shore of Riverpointe Park (South Watertown, east of Highway 25). The blocks can be used to sit or stand and fish for a great catch! The installation of the blocks is part of an effort to conduct programs like Fishing in the Neighborhood sponsored by the DNR, creating excellent educational fishing opportunities for youth.
