PARK IMPROVEMENTS COMING TO OPAL JO JENNINGS AND BRIAN SCHWENGLER
Exciting changes are coming to two beloved Saginaw parks, thanks to funding from the 2021 Bond approved by voters in May 2021.
Both Opal Jo Jennings Memorial Park and Brian Schwengler Memorial Park are set to receive
much needed upgrades focused on accessibility, safety, and recreation. Improvements will include new all-inclusive playgrounds with shading tents, rubberized surfacing, new sidewalks, and park furniture.
At Brian Schwengler Memorial Park, a new half-court basketball court will replace the existing one. City Council is set to approve the building contract bid in May and construction is set to start in late summer 2025.

In early April, the Recreation Center had a fresh new floor installed The upgraded surface is ready for action and perfect for a variety of sports, including pickleball!! This upgrade was approved in 2024 by the Saginaw City Council
We have all driven past the grain elevators on Saginaw Blvd and wondered: Are they still open? The answer is yes! All of the grain elevators along Saginaw Blvd are open and fully operational. Fun fact: Saginaw has the largest concentration of grain elevators in Texas!
One of the mills, Miller Milling, recently expanded its operations in Saginaw It’s now the largest mill in Texas, producing 34,000 cwts of flour every day. That’s enough to feed 10 million people, or the entire population of Michigan, every single day!
