DISCUSSION:
Chad Donegan has transitioned into the role of Assistant Director, and Ken Wilson has stepped into the Director position. This shift is part of our ongoing efforts to build a strong, balanced leadership team that supports the department’s continued growth and the evolving needs of our community.
Stephanie Chelar’s role as Recreation Manager has been expanded to now include Aquatics and Athletics, along with Recreation and the Fischer Park Nature Education Center.
Tiffany Ross has accepted the position of Aquatic Supervisor for the Landa Park Aquatic Complex and Tube Chute and started on July 11. She previously held the position of Recreation Specialist at Das Rec.
In July we celebrated Parks and Rec month, and this years' theme was "Build Together, Play Together". New Braunfels PARD celebrated in all kinds of ways; from story time and art in the park, to larger community events. Some highlights were the staff appreciation week where the team met each employee where they worked in the field to show appreciation with ice cream floats. Das Rec celebrated it's seventh anniversary with a week of fun events. Through the help of social media, NBPARD promoted trails, waterways, projects and improvements. The month culminated with the Landa Park Food Truck party, which proved to be a successful place for people to gather and connect. The department goal of showcasing all that our team does to connect the community through our parks systems was met with pride and success.
