We endeavor to increase accessibility and inclusivity of parks, facilities, programs, and services for all citizens.

In January 2012, the City of Deer Park Parks and Recreation Department endeavored to develop an updated Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan to guide the renovation and development of existing and new parks, facilities and programs in order to maintain the high quality of life we all enjoy in Deer Park. The following document is the result of this process and will help guide the Parks and Recreation Department into the future.
