Respect, Honor and Remember During National Police Week May 11-17
At Tuesday's Town Council meeting, Mayor Ray Smith presented a proclamation to Prosper Police Department declaring this week as Police Week and May 15 as National Peace Officers' Memorial Day in Prosper. We appreciate our men and women of the police force and solemnly honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Please join us in lighting the Town blue for the month of May in support of the police department. Prosper Town Hall, Gateway Monument on Preston Road and PISD Football Stadium will be illuminated in blue each night and we encourage residents to do the same by adding blue light bulbs to their front porch light and/or landscape lighting to show your support.

In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week is dedicated to honoring law enforcement officers and pays special recognition to those who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others. We're thankful for our men and women in law enforcement and will always respect, honor and remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

The Community is Invited to Celebrate Windmill Playground's 10th Birthday Celebration May 20
Dedicated on May 20, 2012, the Windmill Playground at Frontier Park was built entirely with donations and volunteer labor from businesses, residents and Town staff. Prosper Parks and Recreation will host a Homecoming celebration for the Community Build team on May 20 from 9-11 a.m. at the Frontier Park pavilion, 1551 Frontier Parkway. The public is encouraged to attend to mix and mingle with other residents and share your playground stories!

Ten years ago, nearly 1,000 volunteers joined together to build Windmill Playground, from the ground up, by devoting countless hours to fundraising, visioning, procuring donated materials and building the playground structures. Almost 2,000 PISD students entered the “Draw Your Dream Playground,” contest which included suggesting a name. “Windmill Playground” was chosen from the entries. When it came time to physically build the playground structures, local businesses provided expertise and the community of residents and Town staff literally got to work! The Community Build project was completed in an incredible seven days.

Windmill Playground is a glowing symbol of Prosper’s small-town spirit and community fortitude! Signage throughout the playground depicts the names of sponsors. Pickets display names of families and merchants as a permanent reminder of those who were an integral part of the group project.

Thousands of families have enjoyed Windmill Playground over the years and will continue to do so. Plan to stop by the playground and pavilion on May 20 to reminisce, play and thank the Community Build team for the playground where dreams really have come true. For additional information, please contact Parks and Recreation at 972-569-1160.
