Within a very short period of time, the City of Euless lost two of our Lifetime Achievement Award winners. Richard McNeese and Helen Voss both passed away in February. Richard was a vital member of the Planning and Zoning Board. However, his dedication and service to our City surpassed 35 years. He has also volunteered on the Parks and Leisure Services Board as well as the Capital Improvement Advisory Committee. Last year, Richard received Euless’ Lifetime Achievement Award for all the contributions he made to Euless. Helen contributed her talents to Euless in a variety of ways. Helen was involved in both the Euless Citizen’s Police & Fire Alumni Associations as well as the Euless Library Foundation. In addition to serving on the Historical Preservation Committee, she chaired the museum committee in 2012. This large undertaking required orchestrating volunteers and organizing keepsakes before the museum opened its doors. Helen and her husband John received the Lifetime Contribution Award in 2012. Their contributions will leave a lasting impact on our City and they will both be greatly missed.

These amenities are great for younger children because they do not present the same drowning hazard as swimming pools. A magic touch bollard turns on the fun.

There are several water effects for all children to play in including a raining bucket, an in-ground spray fountain, poles, a colorful misty arch, geysers and a spray column all located on a blue rubber surface. The tropical landscaping includes banana trees and hardy hibiscus. Two benches and a beach hut shade structure provide a variety of places for parents to stay dry and supervise while children play. The Splash Pad offers multiple spray features that provide a safe, no cost play environment for children to cool off during the hot weather. Simply press the top of the yellow bollard to start the water features. This facility is open to everyone and is not available to rent.
