MOVIE IN THE PARK RESCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY, MARCH 24 DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER
Our Vision
By the year 2027, Marble Falls will be known for a park, recreation, and open space system that is second to none. This includes building and maintaining parks and open spaces that are family-friendly, walkable, connected, and which maximize public access to Lake Marble Falls and other natural resources. These areas will be comprised of recreational facilities, other quality of life amenities, and programming to provide residents and visitors of all ages the opportunity to be healthy, physically fit, and socially connected.
Marble Falls envisions achieving this first by being forward thinking with the redevelopment of its existing facilities, followed by strategic expansion and partnerships that respond to the needs of a growing community. This requires a focus not only on design, construction, and other initial capital costs, but also staffing, operations, and long-term maintenance.
Our Mission
We pledge to provide safe and accessible park and community facilities, recreational programming, and community events that will enhance the health and quality of life of our citizens and visitors; enrich the community and environment by conserving, protecting, and enhancing our cultural, historical, archaeological, and natural resources; and attract quality growth and economic development.
About Us
The Parks and Recreation Department consists of a Director, Parks Superintendent, Recreation Manager, Recreation Coordinator, Administrative Assistant, Crew Leaders, Maintenance Technicians, and seasonal part-time staff. Responsibilities include the maintenance, operation, and programming of the Lakeside Pavilion, parks, hike and bike trails, sports fields, swimming pool, and other locations across the city.
Parks
There is approximately 153 acres of park land, trails, greenbelts, and facilities in Marble Falls. Johnson, Falls Creek and Lakeside Parks are adjacent to one another and are very popular for family outings.
These parks are also used for some of Marble Falls' largest special events like Howdy-Roo, Mayfest, Children's Day, July 4th Celebration, the Marble Falls Music Festival, and the Walkway of Lights.
Recreation
The Parks and Recreation Department offers special events, recreational programs, summer day camps, youth and adult athletic leagues. The Parks and Recreation Department also facilitates the use and enjoyment of our park facilities and Lakeside Pavilion.
Parks and Recreation Commission
The Parks and Recreation Department interfaces with the Parks and Recreation Commission; which is a volunteer citizen committee that serves in an advisory capacity and makes policy recommendations to the City Council concerning the acquisition, maintenance, operation and use of parks and open spaces within the city.
