The fun of Parks & Rec month continued this morning with our D***s & Donuts Pickleball tournament sponsored by First Baptist Church of Murphy!

In total, 12 teams signed up, and our winners took home some pretty unique trophies!

Congratulations to our winners:
1st Place: Don't Hit Out Balls
2nd Place: Simply Smashing
3rd Place: D**k The Night Away

We may only have had three "place" winners, but since First Baptist Church of Murphy (sponsor) brought donuts, we were all winners!

Illegal fireworks are not only dangerous to the individual setting them off, but also for their home, neighbors homes, our Veterans with PTSD and animals.

Instead, enjoy a professional fireworks show in one of our neighboring cities like, City of Plano, Texas Government, City of Rockwall, Texas - Municipal Government, City of Richardson Parks & Recreation .
