The City of DeSoto received some great news in Frisco on November 8. The prestigious Texas Recreation and Park Society (TRAPS,) who is holding their North American Conference at the Omni Hotel in Frisco, presented their coveted “Promotional Award” to the CAPRA Accredited DeSoto Parks & Recreation Department for their digital marketing campaign promoting the City’s joint 4th of July event with the City of Lancaster that leveraged more than 11,000 in attendance.

DeSoto Parks are now officially equipped with Wi-Fi capability. In part of celebrating "Park and Recreation Month" DeSoto PARD hosted a Wi-Fi Launch Party on July 11. Wi-Fi is no longer considered an amenity, and has been identified by NRPA as a public utility. Access to the internet, so that we can be tethered to our smart phones, is a basic expectation. DeSoto Parks & Recreation is dedicated to NRPA’s commitment to create healthy, sustainable and equitable communities. We’re excited about this partnership with Spectrum, which provided the infrastructure which allowed us to promote digital literacy through access to Wi-Fi in DeSoto Parks.
