Rogers Parks and Recreation Welcomes New Leadership for 2025

ROGERS, AR – The Rogers Parks and Recreation Commission is kicking off the new year with a leadership transition as the board prepares to elect new officers at its January meeting. The commission, which oversees the city's parks, trails, and recreational programs, will vote on its 2025 leadership to guide upcoming projects and community initiatives.

This transition comes alongside the introduction of new commissioner Ryan Neal, who joins the board as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen community representation. The commission also took a moment to honor outgoing commissioner David Hale, recognizing his contributions to the city's parks and recreation system.

Beyond leadership changes, the board is keeping its focus on improving park conservation and maintenance efforts. With a growing population and an increased demand for outdoor spaces, city officials are working on strategies to ensure Rogers' parks remain sustainable and accessible.

As the commission looks ahead, upcoming projects include finalizing the 13th Street expansion, continuing trail improvements, and managing grants for tree planting and conservation initiatives.

The election of new officers will take place at the next meeting, shaping the direction of Rogers Parks and Recreation for the year ahead.
