Parks and recreation are all about enjoying the good parts of life, getting outside, and learning to play for fun. Those who choose a career in community services care deeply about providing services that allow our community to do the things they love the most.
July 21 is Park and Recreation Professionals Day, and we couldn’t let it go by without celebrating the world-class individuals who live out the work-hard, play-hard mentality every day. Throughout the month, we’ve been highlighting the different divisions that make up the Community Services Department, and today we are diving into the public service motivation that keeps our team at the top of their game daily.
When you work in the largest department in the city, it can be hard to stop and reflect on the incredible work your colleagues do, and we occasionally get siloed in our individual responsibilities. However, we know each team member is vital to fulfilling our mission of creating world-class experiences for our residents. On this Park and Recreation Professionals Day, we paused to ask one of our teammates what he loves most about his job.
Here's what our Athletics Coordinator had to say:
“What I like about working in Parks and Rec is watching the kids I used to interact with as a counselor/attendant level grow up, develop their skills, and see them thrive in our programs and leagues. It’s even better when they remember me and they talk to me about how school is going or how much fun they are having in their sport. Seeing them enjoy themselves in our programs and leagues lets me know that we are doing the best job that we can for them and our community!” Luis Marquez, Athletics Coordinator
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves! Thank you to everyone in the Community Services Department. We’re lucky to be surrounded by world-class parks and recreation professionals who help our community grow every day!

Summer is the busiest time of year for Parks and Recreation professionals because it's the best time for families to spend time outside doing what they love!
Nothing beats a lazy day lounging by the pool, exploring a new playground, or training for the Fall Athletic season during the summer months. However, Southlake summers can be unforgiving, and practicing summer safety is crucial.
Here are a few summer safety tips to keep in mind as you get out and explore our incredible recreation amenities this summer.
Dress for Success
Our Southlake residents are always fashionable, but it’s imperative to remember to dress for the heat. Styling light colors is a great way to reflect harmful sun rays while keeping cool. Add some light layers made of breathable fabric for added sun protection. Dress for success when you visit our world-class Southlake parks and playgrounds! Don’t forget to snap a “fit pic” for the gram!
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Don’t forget to drink water when spending time outside! Drinking enough water is vital any time of the year, but it is essential when it’s hot. Start your day with a glass in the morning and add another to every meal. Grab a fun reusable bottle to take to the pool, the playground, and the winding trails of the Bob Jones Nature Center and Preserve. Our Parks professionals always carry extra water around, and you should too!
Timing is Everything
The summer days are long, and the number of fun activities is endless. If spending time outdoors is part of your daily routine, adjust your schedule to avoid the hottest parts of the day. Early mornings and evenings are the best time of day to schedule a tennis or pickleball match with friends, walk your dog, or take your little one to the park! Mid-mornings to early afternoons can be the hottest hours of the day. Beat the heat during that time by checking out Champions Club and enjoying our indoor Aquatics Center!
Apply and Reapply
Finally, apply sunscreen! Your skin is your biggest organ, so show it some big love this summer by generously applying sunscreen when you go out. Sweat and water can limit the benefits of sunscreen, so make sure you reapply every two hours for maximum protection.
There are many ways to stay cool and safe in Southlake this summer. Remember these tips, and you'll create many life-long memories!
Summer is finally here, and it’s all hands on deck to deliver a world-class summer to our residents.
Summer is our bread and butter, and it is here! Everyone from our Parks Technicians to our Recreation Specialists is preparing for the arrival of the summer crowds. Whether it’s training our staff and volunteers for another sold-out summer of Camp Mania, ensuring the playgrounds are in tip-top shape, or welcoming increased crowds at Champions Club, summer is the busiest time of the year!
Here’s a look at what our department has in store for the next three months:
Camps, Camps, and More Camps!
Our popular Camp Mania and Summer Cross Timbers Nature Camps may be sold out, but our department offers much more than our two flagship camps. If you are looking for full and half-day camps to keep your kiddo engaged and learning this summer, our Recreation Programs have something for you! Whether your little one is into art, music, coding, or technology, there’s a day camp available to meet their interests. Learn more about our summer day camps here.
Summer Basketball and Girls' Volleyball
It wouldn’t be a real Southlake summer without our Athletics staff managing our busy leagues. While they’re already gearing up for the Fall, our summer leagues are underway! Stop by a game to support our Southlake youth athletes. This team also manages several athletics day camps and programs! Check them out here.
Summer Champions
Champions Club is always busy, and summer is no exception. The hottest months of the year are when we welcome back our collegiate members and high school volunteers. We love seeing the facility bursting with life. Cool off in our world-class Aquatics Center or catch a morning group fitness class. There’s no better place to work out and escape the heat than Champions Club! Not a member yet? Join today!
Senior Trips
Our seniors will spend the summer months exploring the DFW area. They plan to visit the Crow Museum of Asian Arts, Eataly and North Park Mall, and the George Bush Center in June alone! There’s always something exciting at the Southlake Senior Center for our 55 and better members!
Summer Hours and Flowers
Early birds might catch our incredible parks technicians all over town beautifying our parks. They take pride in ensuring our parks and safe, green, and clean for all to enjoy. The beautiful landscaping they planted in the Spring is in bloom around this time. Did you know the Parks team starts their day bright and early during the summertime to beat the heat?
You’re bound to bump into our world-class Parks and Recreation professionals this summer. Our team members do everything from helping out at Stars and Stripes, chaperoning camp field trips, to clearing hiking trails for summer explorers. Don’t forget to thank them for their hard work!
Champions Club is Southlake’s premier recreational facility, and our team never stops innovating world-class services for our members.
If you’re a Champions Club member, you know our personal and group fitness offerings are unmatched. We strive to provide multiple group and individual fitness options to meet our members’ goals. Whenever a member identifies a need, our team is ready to respond to meet that need. That’s how Private Yoga sessions at Champions Club were born.
Our yoga classes are among the most popular group fitness classes on the Champions Club schedule, and it’s an excellent workout for those wanting to increase flexibility while strengthening and toning their muscles. However, if you’re new to yoga or group fitness isn’t your thing, joining a yoga class may not be on your to-do list. When a few Champions Club members approached our Fitness staff about providing personal yoga training sessions, we knew it was a great idea!
Our Private Yoga sessions mirror our Personal Training sessions. Champions Club members can book as little as three or up to twenty one-on-one sessions with our world-class yoga instructor. What can you expect when you book a Private Yoga package at Champions Club? A personal one-on-one yoga class with particular attention paid to your form and poses. Think of it as a more relaxed approach to personal training with all the benefits of a personalized training program.
If you want to incorporate yoga into your wellness routine but don't know where to start Private Yoga is for you. Purchase a partner package to improve your flexibility with a friend and keep each other accountable! Register for your private sessions today!
