Make a Splash for a Cause!
As part of this special event, we’re hosting a silent auction to support the Buddy League, a Garland-based nonprofit that provides recreational opportunities for children with special needs. 100% of auction proceeds will go toward improving their baseball field, creating a smoother, more accessible playing surface for children who use wheelchairs.

Your participation not only gives you a first look at this amazing new aquatics facility but also helps make a difference in our community. Join us for an afternoon of swimming, sun, and community spirit—and help us make a positive impact while having a blast!

Event Guidelines:

  • No outside food, drinks, or coolers.

  • Glass containers are strictly prohibited.

Our projects are long term and funded through donations. We focus on large scale installations, park improvements, and funding for Parks Department projects. Our goal is to create a wow factor that increases park attendance and community esteem.

We encourage people to make memories in our parks.

Dorfman Park Installation

Location: 701 Spring Lake Drive, Garland, TX 75043
Event Date: August 17, 2024

This installation commemorates our first project located in Dorfman Park. With the goal of enhancing the space for community enjoyment and relaxation, the bench was strategically placed beneath the shade of three newly planted trees, creating a serene environment for visitors to gather and appreciate nature. A dedication plaque and hardscape element were added to celebrate the donors for the project.
