ODESSA PARKS & RECREATION’S AQUATIC CENTER
Odessa Parks & Recreation Department
The mission of the Odessa Parks and Recreation Department is to provide safe, usable, adequate park land and to offer afford-
able recreational activities for the Odessa community. As we anticipate the area’s continuing growth, we intend to provide
new programs and facilities as needed to fit the changing desires of our community.
The Parks and Recreation Board adopted a new master plan in the spring of 2003. This plan is a guide to lead the board in
future developments. Copies of the master plan are available to view at the Parks and Recreation Office.
