National Night Out

Block parties and backyard barbecues will be staged all over the City with the goal of encouraging neighbors to get to know each other and breed the familiarity that promotes awareness. Anyone planning a National Night Out party is encouraged to call the Farmers Branch Police Department at 972.919.9304 to register the gathering and to have officials stop by.

The crown jewel of playgrounds
One of the guiding goals in the City’s Strategic Plan is to provide attractive, unique and connected spaces for community interaction. Based on this goal and under the direction of City Council, the Parks and Recreation department has developed a plan to bring a true one-of-akind signature playground to Farmers Branch - Joya. Translated as Jewel in Spanish, Joya will be the crown jewel of playgrounds in Farmers Branch. Using data collected from focus groups with the true “fun experts” - kids, the concept for Joya was developed. Joya will be an all-inclusive glow playground that, while fun in the daytime, will come alive at night with interactive features that glow, allowing for day and evening play. Joya will be located at the corner of Tom Field Road and Valley View Lane. Construction is expected to begin this fall, with an opening date in the late spring. The design and construction of the project is funded by a grant from the State of Texas Parks & Wildlife and the Federal American Rescue Plan Act.
