A message from Jessica Carpenter, Director of Community Experiences After nearly 20 years as Parks and Recreation, our department has experienced explosive growth of our parks and trails system, and expanded its scope to include a recreation and aquatics center, a tennis center, a senior and community center, a biodiversity education center, playgrounds, new ball fields, community gardens, a farmers market, a cemetery, massive growth in special event offerings, the addition of a marketing and community engagement team, a dog park, an arts center, a library, pickleball courts and thousands of camps, classes, programs, sports leagues and services.
We offer such a wide variety of services to the community – greatly expanding the purview of traditional parks and recreation. In January 2023 we became Coppell Community Experiences.
