The responsibilities of the Highway Department are many. We maintain forty miles of road summer and winter. We repave about two and a half (2 1/2) miles per year and patch the rest of the roads as needed. We also mow the shoulders of the roads, clean ditches, install culvert pipes and take care of guard rails on the roads.

There are two town parks in Elma; the first is located on Creek Road and the other one is on Bowen Road by the Senior Center. The Park on Creek Road is used mostly by EMW sports. There are ball diamonds, soccer fields and a football field at this park. There is one shelter in the park and four tennis courts.

The park on Bowen Road has one large shelter, two small shelters, a gazebo and modern restroom facility. There is also a playground and a paved walking path that leads to a historic dam site. Arrangements can be made at the Town Hall to reserve the shelters. Elma Meadows is a County Park with a Golf Course and Park Facilities.
