National Park & Recreation Month

We want to hear your story!

Coppell Parks & Recreation is about more than green spaces and facilities, we craft memorable experiences, places of camaraderie, and opportunities to grow.

This year, as part of NRPA’s National Park and Recreation Month celebration in July, we invite you to share your Coppell Parks & Recreation story with us! Send a photo of your favorite park, a video of your favorite activity, or write to us about a memorable experience at one of our facilities.

Submissions will be accepted from Monday, June 14 through Friday, July 9. Coppell Parks & Recreation will feature stories, photos, and videos at coppelltx.gov/parks and on our Facebook and Instagram pages @CoppellParks from Monday, July 12 through Friday, July 30. All submissions will be entered into a prize drawing for Coppell Parks & Recreation branded items to share your love of our department with the rest of the community!
