PARKS & REC NEWS
SIMPLY REMARKABLE!
We’re proud to announce that Mansfield Parks and Recreation was named the 2024 Texas Recreation and Park Society Gold Medal winner! This is the most prestigious award given by the state agency, with only one winner in each of five population classes. The Gold Medal recognizes overall excellence and growth, and agencies can only apply once every three years.
This is Mansfield’s FIFTH time to win the honor, undoubtedly thanks to our incredible team, strong support from our City Council and City leadership, and, of course, our passionate and dedicated residents who motivate us to keep innovating and improving.
We were also honored to receive two additional state awards at the March ceremony: the Promotions and Marketing Excellence Award for the three-ring ribbon cutting ceremony and the Arts and Humanities Award for the Read & Grow Book Reading event.
PROJECT UPDATES
Work is progressing and dirt is flying on park projects across the city. Check our website for the latest updates on renovations to Katherine Rose Memorial Park, Skinner Sports Complex, McClendon Park East, James McKnight Park West, Julian Feild Park and Mans Best Field Dog Park, all scheduled for this year!
Scan the code or visit mansfieldparks. com and select projects.

Every day, I have the opportunity to provide a welcoming place for those who may otherwise feel isolated or neglected. The seniors’ wisdom, humor, and resilience inspires me and reminds me to appreciate the simple joys of life and to treat others with kindness and respect, regardless of their age. I feel deeply fulfilled and grateful to be able to serve this special population.”
