Message froM the Mayor

Thank you for checking out the “Live and Play” brochure, created by the Deer Park Parks and Recreation Department. This brochure includes all the information you need to find a variety of ways to have fun in our community!

As residents of Deer Park, we are fortunate to live in an area that values quality of life, and our Parks and Recreation Department works every day to ensure that our parks, green spaces and recreation opportunities are the best in the region. Throughout 2019, a range of Type B projects including the Softball and Soccer Complexes were completed, not to mention the Deer Park Nature Preserve. Don’t forget, the Maxwell Center and Dow Park Pavilions are also available for use, both perfect for family gatherings, celebrations and more.

Over the next few months, we hope to see you at some of our outdoor events including the Easter EGGstravaganza, Movies in the Park and lots more. Make sure to utilize this brochure as well as the City website and social media channels to stay informed, and we’ll see you outside!
