Residents of Flower Mound are invited to a neighborhood meeting next week at the Senior Center to discuss upcoming community improvements. Scheduled for 6 PM on October 10th, the meeting aims to inform residents about plans to replace the aging wooden gazebo with a new pavilion designed to maintain a similar aesthetic. Additional enhancements include the installation of outdoor exercise equipment, lighting upgrades, landscaping improvements, and ADA-compliant trail repairs.
In personnel news, the town's aquatics coordinator, Eric Belcher, is departing for a new role as program supervisor at the city of Allen's aquatic center. His last day is tomorrow, and officials expressed gratitude for his contributions over the years.
The Community Activity Center (CAC) is also making strides with the addition of five new treadmills, including a self-powered curved belt model. As summer activities conclude, the outdoor water park has officially closed, and fall adult athletics have commenced, featuring 42 registered softball teams, 12 basketball teams, and six co-ed kickball teams.
In cultural initiatives, the town has launched a hidden art treasure hunt in local parks, encouraging residents to find art boxes containing projects to complete. The CAC and Senior Center are showcasing local art, with new pieces being hung this month. A notable installation, a movable art project featuring four doors, continues to travel between community locations, allowing residents to engage with art in various settings.
These updates reflect the town's ongoing commitment to community engagement, recreation, and cultural enrichment.
