Holford Aquatics Event

2025 we celebrated Garland’s Newest Aquatics Facility

The Garland Parks Foundation was thrilled to host an exclusive soft opening of the Holford Recreation Center Aquatics Facility on May 17th from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The weather was perfect and we were able to showcase what everyone has been anticipating. In addition, the event was a new beginning of partnerships between non profits. Proceeds from the soft opening event helped The Buddy League make needed improvements to their baseball field. $1200 was raised for the cause and every dollar was delivered.

Our projects are long term and funded through donations. We focus on large scale installations, park improvements, and funding for Parks Department projects. Our goal is to create a wow factor that increases park attendance and community esteem.

We encourage people to make memories in our parks.

This installation commemorates our first project located in Dorfman Park. With the goal of enhancing the space for community enjoyment and relaxation, the bench was strategically placed beneath the shade of three newly planted trees, creating a serene environment for visitors to gather and appreciate nature. A dedication plaque and hardscape element were added to celebrate the donors for the project.
