Frances Shofner Memorial Loop and Trailhead Project


Wondering about the construction on University Drive near Maroney Drive? 
That is the future site of our Lanana Creek Trail extension and Frances Shofner Memorial Loop and trailhead.  This new access point will allow visitors easier access to the North end of Lanana Trail and the new Frances Shofner Memorial Loop section.  After some slight delays due to the May flood, construction is well underway and the trailhead should open this summer.

Ritchie Street Park Playground


Ritchie Street Playground is our new All-Abilities Playground located at Ritchie Street Park - 800 Ritchie Street. 

An all-abilities playground provides a place that goes beyond minimum accessibility standards to create play experiences that meet a variety of needs and interests, so children and adults of all abilities can interact and play together. Ritchie Street Playground is the 2nd National Demonstration Site in East Texas. 

Ritchie Street Playground is open to the public! We will install new parking and a new fence in the very near future. We'll see you at the park!

Pickleball Court Improvements


Banita Creek Park - 501 Pearl Street

Banita Creek Park now has 6 new multi use courts that can be used for Pickleball, roller blading, dancing or many other activities . There are no permeant nets at Banita Creek Park at this time.  Thank you to the Parks staff and our wonderful volunteers for making this project happen. 

Maroney Park - 2110 Maroney Drive

Thanks to a very generous donation we were able to install 12 new dedicated Pickleball courts at Maroney Park.  The grand opening for these courts is Friday, February 17th at 11am. After the opening the courts are available on a first come, first served basis.
