Today, the LOLC Junior Leaders visited with Development Services at the Rockport Service Center, where they learned about the importance of building safety in our community!

From homes and restaurants to piers along the water, they explored how safety plays an important role in the places we live, work, and play.

The kids also shared ideas about the types of businesses they would love to see in Rockport and participated in an activity where they viewed safe and unsafe buildings and identified potential hazards.

It was a fun and educational experience that encouraged them to think critically about building safety and how we can help keep our community safe for everyone! Thank you Amanda, Robert, and Belinda for sharing your department with the LOLC Junior Leaders.

Parks & Rec Activities Review!

🏴‍☠️ Our Parks crew joined in the fun at Live Oak Learning Center’s Pirate Palooza! The kids got creative with sand art, and we loved having the opportunity to share a fun activity with our community’s little pirates! 🎨

Last week, we celebrated a special milestone as Pablo Garcia reached 5 years with the Parks & Recreation team! We are proud of all the hard work you do and the great attitude you bring to the crew every day. Thank you for being such a valuable part of our team!

We also had a blast participating in the Shrimporee Parade! 🦐 We loved getting out into the community, spreading smiles, and sharing some goodies along the route. We hope you saw us and were able to catch a few treats!

Thank you for always showing us so much love and support. We are proud to serve our community! 💚🌳

2026 Junior Park Ranger Program
Rockport Parks & Recreation is excited to partner with Live Oak Learning Center to introduce the Junior Park Ranger Program, an educational program designed to connect students with nature, local history, and outdoor recreation. Through hands-on activities and demonstrations, students will explore a variety of topics, including park ranger responsibilities, archery safety and skills, birdwatching and identification, nature trail walks, lifeguard demonstrations and skills, and the history of Zachary Taylor Arboretum Park. Students will also learn through trail and pond observations and nature journaling, encouraging curiosity, environmental awareness, and a greater appreciation for Rockport’s parks and natural resources.

This month we focused on Archery 🏹 Big thank you to Park Rangers Mitch & Jacob for hosting the class this month!
