Bond 2027 Committee - Oct 27, 2026
Staff floated park amenity replacements (playground, fields, fencing) at a heavily improved park, but committee members balked — a new parks master plan (the first since ~2010) is going out for RFP now, and members said spending before that plan is 'cart before the horse.' Members noted Salmon Park and other parks need attention too.
Municipal Development District Board - Sep 10, 2026
Sachse's current Parks Master Plan dates to 2010 and is outdated. A new plan, estimated at about $250,000 in MDD funding, would guide future park development, land acquisition and grant applications. The board was scheduled to receive a progress update.

Parks and Recreation Board - Aug 13, 2026
The city is starting its first new parks master plan since 2010, with a $250,000 budget from the MDD. A committee will pick a consultant by this winter, and residents will get plenty of chances to weigh in through surveys and events over the year-long process.
Municipal Development District Board - Jun 11, 2026
Sachse's last parks master plan dates to 2010, and the city is well short of its parkland needs. The district board wants about $250,000 of next year's budget to fund a new plan — roughly a year in the works with heavy public input — which also makes the city eligible for Texas Parks and Wildlife grants. The remaining roughly $800,000 would be banked for projects the plan identifies, possibly including land purchases.
Parks and Recreation Board - May 14, 2026
The Community Center logged 33,000+ check-ins and 1,800+ memberships in 2025, and parks saw completed improvements plus upcoming work like Dave Sanford Park bridge repairs and added lighting and security.
