The Pauls Valley Parks and Recreation Department hits a home run for our families.
Wacker Park serves as a playground for the young and a recreation site for adults, complete with playground equipment, band shell, softball and baseball fields, the Rotary rose garden, tennis courts, pavilion, Senior Citizen Center, rodeo grounds, Garvin Count fair facility, football field basketball gym, recreation center and outdoor water park.
The Herbert J. Taylor monument and Rotary emblem, the first part of the revitalization plan, were dedicated on the 100th anniversary of Rotary’s founding, February 23, 2005. The Rotary club board and membership, as an ongoing civic project and gift to the community under the overall vision and direction of member Marty Lichtmann, have embraced the legacy of past Rotarian Sam Lowe. Wacker Park’s assets are said to be in the millions, with most of its initial features and later additions coming from the generosity of Pauls Valley’s residents.
The need for a recreational park had long been recognized, and some steps and plans had been made toward such a goal. When the dream was realized, Wacker Park was established without a single cent of tax money. More than a quarter of a million dollars were raised privately, with donations clearing the way for the purchase of land on Pauls Valley’s north side. The school system used some of the land and money to build a football stadium and gymnasium.
With a variety of programs and events there is something for every member
of your family. Step outside, stay active and enjoy the benefits of Pauls Valley’s Parks and Recreation!
