Please see the statement from Councilman Ridley regarding the Dallas Mavericks' decision to relocate to the Valley View site.

This morning, Park staff shared their stats regarding ongoing efforts at Willis Winters Park.

Below is the overview of the combined efforts from January 26, 2026 through the end of school May 27, 2026.

Rangers - 174 visits; 24 infractions; 23 compliant - 1 non-complaint - 96% compliance
Marshals- 180 visits; 40 warnings; 58 citations; 5 arrests; 4.2 grams of narcotics seized; 15 vehicles impounded; 1 gun seized

These efforts were part of the action plan in response to the shooting at Willis Winters Park in January.

Please join the District 14 Office for an informational session on reporting and compliance, featuring code representatives from Neighborhood, Multifamily, Single Family Rental, and Historic/Conservation District divisions.

Exciting news!

The new flagpole at Willis Winters Park has been installed. During the 2024 bond process, our office received notice that student athletes did not have a flagpole with a flag to salute during national anthems. Councilman Ridley allocated $20,000 in district specific bond funding for the installation of a new flagpole.

Thank you to Dallas Park and Recreation Department for their work!
