Elgin Texas Parks & Recreation

In 2015 the Elgin Parks Department was re-created to better cater to the community's needs. The different divisions of the Parks Department add to the quality of life in our community by maintaining parks and green spaces. We plan and implement various programs for all ages and teach Elgin residents about the unique resources around them. From maintaining nearly 120 aces of parkland to providing more than 45 events for all demographics, our staff strives to bring Elgin together 365 days a year. 


The Parks Department is responsible for:
  • Parks maintenance 
  • Recreational Programming
  • Morris Memorial Pool
  • Facility rentals for:
    • Elgin Recreation Center 
    • Fleming Community Center
    • Morris Memorial Pool
    • All Elgin Parks

Help shape the future of Elgin's Parks!

The Elgin Parks Advisory Board is working on updating the Parks Master Plan for the next 10 years. This is something vital for our department because it will define how our parks and open spaces are enhanced, changed or even added to.

Any major change to the parks, including purchasing new land, replacing old play equipment, getting new features like a dog park or amphitheater, are all determined by what people say in the surveys we receive so this is a great chance for everyone to have their voices heard and counted.
