The City Council voted to adopt the Parks and Recreation Aquatic Master Plan at Monday’s City Council meeting. The plan provides short-term and long-term strategies for Richardson’s aquatic services and facilities and has been in development since April 2024. Prior to the vote, Parks and Recreation staff presented an updated final draft of the plan that incorporated feedback received last month from the Council and the Parks and Recreation Commission. 

The adopted plan offers flexibility, with three possible future scenarios that could be implemented in phases over the next 2-10 years depending on financial considerations and condition of existing facilities.   

Parks and Recreation’s first priority going forward is to finalize a $1.5 million funding strategy for FY25 and FY26 to complete renovations at Heights Family Aquatic Center before the 2026 season opens.
