UPDATE: The splash pad is OPEN! 💦☀️

After sharing yesterday that the splash pad would be closed through the weekend, our Parks team went above and beyond to find the needed part, complete the repairs and get everything back up and running safely.

We know many of you were disappointed by the closure announcement and we heard your concerns. Thanks to the hard work and quick response of our staff, the splash pad is ready for families to enjoy this weekend.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we worked through the issue. We always strive to share the best information available at the time and keep our community updated when circumstances change.

To ensure the safety of our neighbors, the splash pad will remain closed through the weekend, May 29-31, while staff completes necessary maintenance and testing.

Our team is actively working to restore normal operations and will reopen the splash pad as soon as we can confirm everything is operating safely and as intended.

We appreciate your patience and understanding and we look forward to welcoming everyone back soon.

We'll share updates as they become available.

Tonight’s City Council meeting marked both a celebration of service and the beginning of a new chapter for the City of Anna.

We recognized Council Member Stan Carver II for six years of dedication, leadership and commitment to our community. His service has helped shape Anna during an exciting time of growth and we are grateful for the impact he has made on our city.

The meeting also included the swearing-in ceremony led by City Secretary Carrie Land, who administered the Oath of Office to newly elected Council Member Jessica Walden and newly re-elected Council Member Elden Baker.

Congratulations to Council Member Walden and Council Member Baker as they begin this next term of service to Anna neighbors. We look forward to all that’s ahead for our community.

The City of Anna continues to experience steady growth, as reflected in the latest U.S. Census population estimates.

Over the past year, Anna’s population grew by more than 10%, reflecting the strong sense of community, quality of life and opportunity that make our city a place people are proud to call home.

We understand that growth can bring change and with that comes both challenges and opportunities. Continued growth allows for increased investment in infrastructure, parks, public safety, local businesses and community amenities that benefit our neighbors both now and in the future. It also reflects the confidence families and businesses have in Anna as a great place to live, work and build a future.
