On behalf of the Town Council and Staff, I want to welcome you to a more active, more adventurous town and encourage you to “Get Hooked on Little Elm”.

As part of our commitment to improve the quality of life for our residents, we are proud to present the first Parks & Recreation and Library Services Program Guide, promoting recreational opportuni-ties throughout the community.

With the recent opening of our Senior Center, Community Center, Recreation Center and expanded Library, we have grown our offer-ing of classroom programs, athletic league-play, and fitness training to meet the diverse needs of our residents. Whether you are a sports enthusiast, hiker, picnicker, camper or fisherman, year round access to these facilities and programs can enhance your life and provide a vast array of indoor and outdoor activities.

The new “Hooked on Little Elm” program guide provides the in-formation you will need to begin enjoying these new programs and amenities.

Thank You,
