Downtown Community Park- Paris, TX

Call Directions

Downtown Community Park- Paris, TX First United Methodist Church (Downtown, Connections and 4m Party Barn Church campuses) in partnershi This was truly a community wide collaborative effort.

It is our dream that the Downtown Community Park will be a welcoming, interactive family environment. It will come with a harmony musical playground, splash pad, green space, walking path, food truck court, public restrooms and spaces for downtown and church parking. The fully landscaped city block (two blocks east of The Plaza) will be open to ALL and will lend itself to special events, parade viewing, and planned downtown activities. First United Methodist Church entered into a partnership with the City of Paris and had other partners quickly join them to reach the goal of funding and building this park. The total cost of the park was 1.2 million dollars. Our lead gift, of $100.000, came from Liberty National Bank! Hayter Engineering offered their services as a huge in-kind gift! These two gifts encouraged other partners to come together to raise approximately $500,000 (cash and in-kind gifts) from the Paris community and beyond. The church offered 40% of a city block for the park itself and funded $700,000 of the project to finish out the entire city block as a park and landscaped parking space. MAJOR PROJECT PARTNERS

The Splash Pad is OPEN!

-The green and yellow pylons have sensors on the top of them. To activate the splash pad all you have to do is lay your hand on top of one of the pylons. That will tell the splash pad *brain* to turn the water on! The three pylons do not control the three different sections of the splash pad. They all send the same signal to the *brain* and it goes through a cycle that includes all 3 sections.

-Please remember to practice water safety and discourage children from running!

-Feel free to share photos of your splash pad fun here!
