In 2023, city leadership kicked off a bold plan to significantly improve several aquatic and recreational facilities. Within four years, the city will have state-of-the-art facilities, amenities, and Irving’s first multi-generational, mixed-use recreation and aquatics community center.
City Council authorized a funding strategy that will not impact the tax rate while still fully funding existing capital improvement projects, such as park enhancements, road reconstruction, drainage improvements and water/wastewater upgrades. Project funding is primarily comprised of voter-approved recreation and senior center bond funds and non-bond capital improvement program allocations.
