In the Parks and Recreation Department, we love summer! It brings everyone together to enjoy our parks, pools, programs, and events. This summer, we are more excited than ever. With the help of other city departments, we’ve kicked off more than 20 projects this fiscal year. Here are some highlights:
• In our neighborhood parks, Crescent Point will receive increased amenities, construction has started on Reatta Meadows, a fitness pod is planned for Castlegate, Gabbard will have new fencing and docks, and a pavilion roof will be added to the basketball courts at Crompton.
• The parking lots, drainage, and lighting systems at Stephen C. Beachy Central Park and Brian Bachmann Park are being redesigned to enhance functionality. New restroom facilities and an upgrade to the existing pavilions also are planned for Beachy and Bee Creek Park. Construction for these improvements will begin in the fall and winter as we schedule around our many events, leagues and other activities.
• Softball and kickball athletes at Beachy Central Park and adult soccer players at Bachmann Park will soon enjoy new lighting systems.
• The renovation of the Lincoln Recreation Center is nearing completion. The facility includes two gymnasiums and about 30,000 square feet of programmable space.
• Construction has started at the Larry J. Ringer Library to add 12,000 square feet of programmable space.
• Two additional synthetic turf fields are under construction at Veterans Park & Athletic Complex for our citizens and guests to enjoy in 2019.
That’s just some of our ongoing projects. We thank you for your continued support and use of the City of College Station’s amazing facilities!

SUMMER MINI CAMPS
The City of College Station — In collaboration with
the City of Bryan and Texas A&M — will host the
2018 Texas Amateur Athletic Federation (TAAF)
Games of Texas July 26-29 at venues across our
community. The event is patterned after the Olympic
Games and U.S. Olympic Sports Festivals and
provides Texans of all ages and skill levels a
wholesome avenue for positive, personal
development through sports and physical activity.
Recognized as the largest amateur sporting event in
the state, the Games of Texas has grown steadily
since the inaugural event in San Antonio in 1986.
The competition creates an exceptional forum for
Olympic hopefuls and recreational amateur
athletes to train and compete.
The City of College Station will host the Games for
the sixth time after conducting events in 1988,
1994, 2000, 2014, and 2015 when it attracted
about 7,750 athletes and 12,000 spectators to the
Bryan/College Station area.
Athletes of all ages can compete in 14 events,
including archery, pickleball, judo, lifeguarding,
boxing, golf, skateboarding, soccer, bowling,
swimming, tennis, sand volleyball, skeet shooting,
and track and field. This year, with more than 1,500
local volunteers helping conduct the event, we hope
to attract more than 20,000 visitors.
The TAAF is a non-profit organization established in
1925 to promote and organize amateur athletics.
Members include parks and recreation
departments, along with individuals and
organizations that contribute time, energy and
effort toward producing successful amateur athletic
events. The TAAF is proud to be recognized by the
United States Olympic Committee as an Official
State Games Program participant every year since
1991.
We invite you to become a part of this world-class
festival by competing or volunteering.
Competitors: For more information or to register, go to
taaf.com/gamesoftexas. Some eligibility restrictions
apply, and registration deadlines vary per sport.
Volunteers: Ages 15-and-older are welcome and
receive free refreshments and a Games of Texas shirt.

With swimming being one of the most popular summer
activities, it’s important to keep these safety tips in mind
whenever you are in, on or around water.
• Ensure that everyone in your family learns to swim well.
• Swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards.
• Always swim with a buddy.
• Actively supervise kids or designate a responsible adult
to supervise—even if lifeguards are present. Always stay
within arm’s reach of young children and avoid distractions.
• Have inexperienced swimmers wear U.S. Coast Guard-
approved life jackets around water, but do not rely on life
jackets alone.
• If you go boating, wear a life jacket. Most boating
fatalities occur from drowning.
•Establish rules for your family and enforce them without
fail. For example, teach children to always ask permission to
go near water, set limits based on each person’s ability, do
not let anyone play around drains and suction fittings, and
do not allow swimmers to hyperventilate before swimming
underwater or have breath-holding contests.
• Even if you do not plan on swimming, be cautious around
natural bodies of water including ocean shoreline, rivers and
lakes. Cold temperatures, currents and underwater hazards
can make a fall into these bodies of water dangerous.
• Avoid alcohol. Alcohol impairs judgment, balance and
coordination, affects swimming and diving skills, and
reduces the body’s ability to stay warm.
• If a child is missing, check the water first. Seconds count in
preventing death or disability.
• Enroll in Red Cross home pool safety, water safety, first aid
and CPR/AED courses to learn how to prevent and respond
to emergencies.
SAFETY FOR YOUR HOME POOL OR HOT TUB
• Install and use barriers around your entire pool area that
are at least 4-feet high with gates that are self-closing,
self-latching and open outward and away from the pool.
The latch should be high enough to be out of a small child’s
reach. Safety covers and pool alarms should be added as
additional layers of protection.
• If you have an above-ground or inflatable pool, remove
access ladders and secure the safety cover whenever the
pool is not in use.
• Remove any structures that provide access to the pool, such
as outdoor furniture, climbable trees, decorative walls and
playground equipment.
• Keep toys that are not in use away from the pool and out
of sight. Toys can attract young children to the pool.
• Have appropriate emergency equipment, such as reaching
or throwing life-saving devices, life jackets and a first aid
kit.

The Brazos Valley Veterans
Memorial Board (BVVM) is
accepting applications for
placement of military veteran
names on the Wall of Honor.
Names added by Aug. 15 will be
recognized during the Veterans
Day Ceremony on Sunday, Nov. 11.
The Wall of Honor, a centerpiece
of the Brazos Valley Veterans
Memorial, includes names of
thousands of veterans who
have served our country in
military service. This is a rare
opportunity to honor your
beloved veteran, living or
deceased, by adding their name to
the wall. It is $150 per name.
The Brazos Valley Veterans
Memorial is located within the
Veterans Park and Athletic
Complex at 3101 Harvey Rd.
