Carlos Ruiz
I fully support this project!
Excited about the changes!!! I attended the meeting tonight. There was not enough young families with kids represented.
Texas Parks and Wildlife were in Duncanville, they were leaving some little fishies behind at Lakeside Park. This is part of their Neighborhood Fishin' Reel Fun Close to Home program. They will be dropping off approx. 420 Catfish every two weeks. Just remember the TPW fishing laws under the age of 17 do not need a fishing liscense, limit 2 poles and limit 5 fish per day.

I'm IN FAVOR or this!!
"Replacement" of Kidsville meaning updating with a new Kidsville AND adding a splashpad? Or tearing it down for ONLY a splashpad? I'm for option 1 but not option 2!
There is tons of open land right there. Why tear down kidsville...which the commnity parents built might i add, just build the splash area where Armstrong pool was that y'all filled in for some crazy reason.
What a great project !

I would agree with updating/improving Kidsville (because this was a community project in which many citizens invested) AND adding a new splash-pad.
Update and add.
Update! Don’t destroy it!
I'd rather have public pool again, than a Splashpad. :/ When I grew up in Duncanville we had two public pools. Now all we have is the crappy Natatorium.
Update and Add. Thanks.
Bryan Gonzalez
Update the existing playground & add a splash pad. Or build a new outdoor pool like Armstrong. I spent many happy summers as a kid at Armstrong.
Build a community pool like Desoto has..duh..and charge Duncanville citizens a certain discounted price and charge others a nondiscounted price..update kidsville not destroy it..heck Duncanville is full of dam parks..a splashpad is only for small kids not all ages you want everyone to ENJOY
I agree with the others. Duncanville needs something for family and the splash pad is for little kids. Update Kidsville Park. Sound walls will help with the highway noise!
Fix it! Don't tear it all down! I grew up at that park and I take my kids there now.
FYI, here's the response I received from the city: "The discussion is to replace Kidsville with a new playground unit and possibly adding a splashpad. Kidsville is currently almost 30 years old and has some safety issues so this is why the City is holding a public input meeting. If you have more input, please e-mail Bart Stevenson at bstevenson@duncanville.com to make sure input is included. I will forward on your message. Thank you!"
Update and add either a splash pad or pool.
Change is hard but necessary. This is such an unsafe zone. It can still be very unique. The designer/Architect seems creative and I trust her judgement. I loved her vision of wheelchair accessibility. Now those kids that are usually not thought of will have the opportunity to join in on the fun. Great job Duncanville!! Moving in the right direction.
We had a pool; they took it out because it was too old and expensive and a safety hazard. Guess I've lived here long enough to see it come full circle.
Congratulations, Officer Green!Congratulations to Officer Trevin Green, who had his swearing in ceremony today. Welcome to the Duncanville Police Department!

Do not miss tonight's Town Hall Meeting scheduled for 6:30 pm at the D.L. Hopkins Senior Center!
City of Duncanville, Texas Municipal Government
REMINDER: A Town Hall Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 10, 2018, at 6:30 pm and will be held at the D.L. Hopkins Senior Center. This public meeting offers citizens the opportunity to share input about the Budget and Capital Projects (Bond).
Do not forget about Operation Clean Duncanville scheduled for April 7!
A great effort that I took full advantage of. Made three trips and would have brought more if it weren't for some louse at the shredding truck saying "you're the reason we set a limit of three boxes".
