Episode 2: Parks & Wrecked by the Heat

Описание: 🔥 Welcome to Round Rock’s Budget Hot Takes – where City leaders take on fiery wings while breaking down the City’s proposed budget.

This episode, Parks & Recreation Director Rick Atkins and Assistant Director David Buzzell break down their proposed budget for the upcoming year, including improved green spaces and parks in our downtown area; major expansions of our crown jewel parks from Play for All to Old Settlers Park; new staff positions and resources to continue upkeep and growth of our parks and special events; and ongoing expansions and connections in the City's trail system.

But can they handle the wings? One brought the budget details, the other brought the pain tolerance (and the milk). Watch them sweat through the heat while explaining how more than $145 million in park projects over the next five years will shape Round Rock’s future. 🌳🔥🎢
