Lakeway mayor proclaims July 2026 Parks and Recreation Month
Summary
Mayor Thomas G. Kilgore proclaimed July 2026 as Parks and Recreation Month and praised the Parks & Recreation Department for completing the first project funded by the city's $22 million parks bond and preparing to break ground on Butler Park.
Mayor Thomas G. Kilgore opened the council meeting with a proclamation naming July 2026 Parks and Recreation Month in Lakeway, citing the department's role in community programs, access to nature and recreation opportunities that support residents' wellbeing. "Our parks department does a fantastic job," Kilgore said, noting the department runs roughly 32 events annually and recently completed the first project funded by the $22,000,000 parks bond.
Kilgore told council members and staff the department is preparing the next series of projects and said the city will break ground on Butler Park in early July. The proclamation was attested by City Secretary Desiree Adair and placed the parks department's efforts in the context of national Parks and Recreation Month designated by the U.S. House of Representatives. No formal action was required beyond the proclamation.
