When you cannot come to us, we will come to you! Stay & Play recreation is a way for us to engage with you virtually. While our Recreation Centers may be closed due to COVID-19, the City of Garland Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts Department is committed to providing ways for you and your family to stay active and safe!
