TRAPS Award

The Garland Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts Department received the Promotion Award at the 2021 Texas Recreation and Park Society (TRAPS) North Region Conference held in Allen, Texas.

The Garland Sports Facility Guide took home the Promotion Award, which recognizes the outstanding promotional eff orts of a park and recreation or leisure agency for the past year. This guide was a collaboration between the Garland Athletics division, Public & Media Relations and Visit Garland in an eff ort to attract tournaments, organizations and visitors to Garland. This resource guide organizes the facility options and displays the amenities available in our community. The Sports Facility Guide is not only intended to promote the traditional sports, but also highlights some of Garland’s unique assets, such as cricket fi elds, Firewheel Golf, Rowlett Creek Preserve mountain bike trail and Garland Independent School District facility partnerships.

The award was presented by TRAPS President Erin Hart and President-Elect Trent Kelley to Heather Lambert, Keaton Blythe and Ashley Brady.
