The City of Deer Park’s new splash pad at Mix Park is set to conclude its first season, having been open for less than a month. With only this weekend left for families to enjoy the new park attraction, time is running out to cool off before it closes to the public.
During the most recent city council meeting, the features of city parks were a recurring topic. Discussions ranged from citizen input and engineer presentations to council member reports, covering various aspects of the city’s parks and recreational activities.
The city council reversed direction on the Splash Pad. However, the city ordinances continue to restrict residents on issues of using their land to create housing options or temporary stay alternatives along with raising chickens.
The City’s Golf course, impacted by inflation, raises prices as a result. Public input was heard regarding the amended budget for the Splash Pad.
Splash pad planning moves forward due to Deer Park’s growth, surplus funds, and decisive actions. Inflation makes money spent now more impactful than those used later.
