The Fulshear Parks & Recreation Commission meeting on April 11, 2025, spotlighted a pressing need for increased safety measures in local parks, particularly the installation of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). Commission members unanimously agreed that having AEDs readily available is essential for the safety of children and families enjoying outdoor activities.

One member passionately emphasized the urgency, stating, "It's like a no brainer. You need that for kids." The discussion highlighted the common concern among parents about the unpredictability of emergencies, with one member noting the visible anxiety parents experience during such situations. The consensus was clear: the community must be prepared for unforeseen medical emergencies.

However, the conversation also turned to the financial implications of implementing this safety measure. While the idea of placing AEDs in parks received strong support, members expressed concern about how to fund the initiative. There was a suggestion to explore additional safety training, such as first aid classes and hands-only CPR sessions, to further enhance community preparedness.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to investigate funding options and develop a plan for the installation of AEDs, ensuring that Fulshear parks become safer spaces for all visitors. The anticipated next steps include reaching out to local organizations and potential sponsors to support this vital initiative.
