MULBERRY PARK REDESIGN
City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Pierce-Murray Land Solutions, LLC, to provide Mulberry Park Baseball Field Redesign engineering services. This project is part of the routine maintenance and repair program for city-owned baseball fields at Mulberry Park. Mulberry Park continues to hold water in both infields and outfields. This work will help alleviate water issues by fixing infield areas and leveling the outfields. Fixing two fields will be the project's first phase, and the second phase will be to fix additional fields at a later stage.

City Council approved the City of Forney’s 2024 Water Conservation and Resource Management Plan.
