🐾 It was a beautiful morning for our Blessing of the Animals event at Puppy Playland Dog Park this past Saturday! 🐾 Many thanks to Father Steven Gamez from Sts. Peter & Paul for delivering the blessing to the furry friends in attendance.

Adding a new trail into the parks system is always cause for celebration! Come hike Willard Canyon off Beverly Lane, it’s brand new and waiting for you! 🥰

We wouldn’t have had the opportunity for this addition at all if it weren’t for the gracious contribution of Dr. and Mrs. Willard. Two of the loveliest people a town could ask for, and of course, the City Of New Braunfels, the New Braunfels Parks and Recreation staff, and everyone else who had a part in pushing this forward.

Thank you so much for everything you do for New Braunfels and making it a better place to be. 💚

She may be gone from the parks, but never far from our hearts! We love you, Stacey Laird Dicke! 💚💚

After almost 20 years as director of parks and recreation in New Braunfels, Stacey recently transitioned to the nonprofit sector after accepting the role of executive director for the New Braunfels Youth Collaborative.

Stacey’s dedication to both public service and community service has distinguished her as a Pillar of the Community.

We love when a plan comes together!

If you haven’t visited Market Plaza on Tolle and Market Streets, you’re missing out on a little gem in the midst of downtown! 😍😍

At our annual Golf Fore Parks tournament, I had the opportunity (?) to speak with Jonathan McJunkin with PlayCast about all things parks-related. I felt super silly, but Jonathan is a great host and I never mind talking about what the Foundation does for New Braunfels and how amazing our parks are! 🥰

If you're looking for something to do this Saturday, join us in the Wine Market at Saengerfest and help us raise more money for your parks! ☺️
