Park Irrigation System Difficulties
We are currently experiencing some technical difficulties beyond our control with the irrigation systems in the parks. Landscape watering at parks, athletic sites, public buildings and on medians are being affected.
Residents are encouraged to assist by calling the Park Maintenance staff at 972-941-7263 to report any problems observed with public irrigation systems or plant material that is under stress. All attempts will be made to correct the problem as soon as possible.

New Practice Establishing Conservation Buffer Zones
Undertaking a new natural resource management technique the Parks and Recreation Department has started establishing Conservation Buffer Zones in various locations throughout town. These are strips of permanent vegetation designed to manage environmental concerns.
Adjacent to a forest edge or waters edge a buffer zone can:
protect soil from erosion
reduce the speed of water runoff
increase soil stabilization
trap sediments
enhance water filtration rates
trap/filter fertilizer, pesticides and
heavy metals
enhance fish and wildlife habitats
protect biodiversity
As the department continues identifying ideal areas for conservation buffer zones you will begin seeing signs like the one below. We hope you will appreciate and enjoy this addition to our community's park system.
