Please provide your input as the Town of Sunnyvale develops plans for improvements at Jobson and Samuell Farm North Parks.


The Town will host a public input meeting at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 21 at Sunnyvale Town Hall, 127 N. Collins Road. During the meeting, you can learn more about recommendations for these two parks made as part of the 2021 Parks Master Plan and recent public surveys that were completed this summer. Proposed concept plans will be presented, and we would really like your insights for future park development.


Additional sports fields, playgrounds, and trails could be options for future improvements. Watch for additional public input opportunities in mid-December, which will result in a final plan. Construction is expected to begin in mid-to-late 2025.

Adopt a Pet in Time for the Holidays!

Hello there, I'm Zelda! I was just a pup when I stumbled upon a magical stone in the park. It glowed and hummed, and the next thing I knew, I was in this shelter! They tell me it's a place for lost pets. I'm not lost, just on an adventure! I've learned so much here, like how to sit, stay, and play fetch. I've got energy to spare and love to share. My goofy antics keep everyone laughing and my loyalty is unwavering. If you're ready for a life filled with laughter, love, and a dash of magic, then I'm the pup for you!


If your family is ready to add a member, we currently have many adoptable animals in our shelter looking for a new place to call home. Learn more by visiting our Petfinder page or calling (214) 862-4525.
