The City of Paris is preparing to update the Parks and Recreation Master Plan to guide development of park facilities and recreation programs through 2036.
An early step in the planning process is to learn what residents would like to have available through the Parks Department over the next 10 years.
The survey can be accessed at www.ParisTexas.gov/ParksSurvey and is open through Friday, May 15, 2026. Anyone can participate, including Lamar County residents and other visitors to Paris.
“Any expansions or changes to parks and recreation programs in the City of Paris during the next 10 years will be based on the results of this survey and other tools,” City Manager Rose Beverly said. “The Parks Master Plan document directs how tax dollars are invested in our parks and is a requirement for most park-related grant applications.”
It is important to note that this is a different survey from the National Community Survey from earlier this year.
If you participated in the NCS, you are encouraged to take this new, unique survey specific to Paris Parks and Recreation.
