Staff said Purple Heart Trail signs were installed along the Cedar Creek Trail, formalizing that designation. Crews addressed a major drainage issue at Flores Reyes Park by installing a new drainage system and then restored playground mulch. The parks division also reported repairing the boat dock at Lake Kirby, replacing benches at the Nelson Wilson pavilion, and replacing benches at splash pad locations.
