DEERSPRING SPRAYGROUND
We were thrilled to provide a couple of weeks of enjoyment at the Deerspring Sprayground when the renovation was completed in late summer. We can't wait for you to enjoy this new amenity next summer!
2022 - 2027 STRATEGIC PLAN SHEPARD PARK RENOVATION
The Shepard Park Renovation Project began in August and includes renovating the 2 ballfields on the west side of the park and adding parking and 6 pickleball courts along the north side of Hackberry Road. Based on weather conditions this fall we anticipate adding temporary lines to the courts and in the spring when the warm weather returns, adding the permanent court striping.
Go GREEN
In September of 2022, the park district adopted a 5-year Strategic Plan with 5 Core Strategies, 21 goals and 63 objectives. The Core Strategies include Organizational Excellence, Service and
Outreach, Park Enhancements, Facility Enhancements and Environmental Stewardship. The plan will again provide guidance for the district as it looks to provide optimal services, programs, parks and facilities to the community. Updates will be provided every 6 months beginning in
March of 2023.
Thanks to all of our community members who provided feedback through survey and evaluation instruments, focus groups, suggestions to staff and requests for services. That feedback was incorporated into the strategic plan. The strategic plan and biannual updates can be seen at deerfieldparks.org/about-us.
