Mission Statement The Sedalia Parks and Recreation Department is committed to providing quality programs, facilities, and services that will enhance the quality of life for the citizens of Sedalia and the surrounding communities.
Connect with us! (660) 826-4930 www.sedaliaparks.com @SedaliaParks @SedaliaParksandRec Heckart Community Center: 1800 W 3rd Convention Hall: 1500 W 3rd
As the Director of Sedalia Parks and Recreation, it is an honor and privilege to lead this department and I look forward to continuing the commitment that the Sedalia Parks and Recreation board has for the community into 2022. It is our vision to improve the quality of life by providing a wide variety of programs and facilities, as well as protecting our natural environment. Parks and Recreation staff continue to work hard to provide high quality parks, recreational facilities, and fun activities to enhance the lives of our residents of all ages. Thanks to the support and trust of the citizens of Sedalia, and the generous donation of Sue Heckart, the Parks and Recreation department will soon be able to bring more fun to the community on a much larger scale when the Heckart Community Center opens on Friday, March 18th at 10:00am! This 96,977 sq. ft. facility will be a gathering place for all: the new home of the Senior Center; an indoor aquatic facility; 3 high school size basketball courts; indoor playground; walking track; and plenty of rooms to rent for gatherings year round! From meeting up with friends after school, to providing a chance for parents to socialize with other parents while the kids are making new friends, learning a new hobby, reconnecting with old friends, teaching a class, or hitting a goal that you made for yourself, the Heckart Community Center is where it can all happen. Whether you are a pickleball player, swimmer, general fitness enthusiast, want to start moving, have little ones that are bursting with energy, a crafter, or maybe just
The Sedalia Parks & Recreation Department oversees over 300 acres of park land, Convention Hall, and the Heckart Community Center, as well as maintaining 7 parks: Liberty, Centennial, Clover Dell, Hubbard, Housel, Katy, and Vermont Park. A wide array of sports, recreation activities, lessons, and special events are available for all area citizens.
wanting to get more involved and find your place in the community, SPR is the place for it all. No matter the time of year, I enthusiastically encourage you and your family to be active, get involved in the community, visit any of our City Parks, trails, pools, and enjoy an activity or program at Convention Hall or the Heckart Community Center. In closing, I need to give a word of thanks to my staff for their dedication, passion, and commitment. I am reminded weekly, if not daily, how special our team is here at Sedalia Parks and Recreation! I have received several phone calls, emails, and comments over the past few months from patrons letting me know how great or awesome their experience was with our staff. Thank you for sharing your stories and thank you to the staff for giving their best every day! I am privileged to be surrounded by talented and inspiring people that make Sedalia a great place to play! Stay active, be healthy, and most of all – have fun! I look forward to seeing you in our parks and at the Heckart Community Center.

In 1948, The Heckart Family made their home here in Sedalia, established their family business, The Heckart Funeral Home and became pillars of the community. They believed their success as a family business was in large part because the community trusted in them and supported them. Because of the support of the community, it was their philosophy that they in return give back to those that had supported them for so many years. Sue carried on the family’s motto of “We Care, We Share, We Love.” Being a strong business woman, community leader, and philanthropist, Sue wanted nothing more than to bring her parents’ dream of a community center to the people of Sedalia. To honor
the legacy of her parents, Del & Stella, Sue believed that the community deserved a place where everyone can come together to share experiences and create memories while improving the quality of life for all. It was with her generous multi-million dollar donation that allowed the Sedalia Parks & Recreation Department the ability to present a 1/8 cent sales tax to help build a Community Center. The community overwhelmingly responded with an 80% YES vote. Sue knows and values the importance of Parks and Recreation and trusts Sedalia Parks & Recreation to honor her parent’s legacy with this outstanding facility that will forever impact the Community of Sedalia.

Thank you Sue Heckart for your generous gift in honor of your parents Del and Stella Heckart!
