Meadow Creek Park Groundbreaking Ceremony

DeSoto PARD hosted a groundbreaking ceremony at Meadow Creek Park on July 18. Meadow Creek Park is a 107-acre large urban park in DeSoto located at 1400 Uhl Road. Funding for Meadow Creek Park improvements was approved by DeSoto voters in the 2014 Bond Referendum. This project is an exciting improvement to DeSoto's Park System and to the youth sport community.

All DeSoto Parks are Equipped with Wi-Fi Capability

DeSoto Parks are now officially equipped with Wi-Fi capability. In part of celebrating "Park and Recreation Month" DeSoto PARD hosted a Wi-Fi Launch Party on July 11. Wi-Fi is no longer considered an amenity, and has been identified by NRPA as a public utility. Access to the internet, so that we can be tethered to our smart phones, is a basic expectation. DeSoto Parks & Recreation is dedicated to NRPA’s commitment to create healthy, sustainable and equitable communities. We’re excited about this partnership with Spectrum, which provided the infrastructure which allowed us to promote digital literacy through access to WI-Fi in DeSoto Parks.
