Few amenities better define a city’s quality of life than an exceptional parks system, children’s programs and natural amenities. For nearly two decades, Stacey Dicke dedicated her time and skills to improving and enhancing the parks and recreation programs in the City of New Braunfels.
Under her leadership, new parks and facilities added to the New Braunfels Parks and Recreation Department program included Fischer Park, Sportsplex, Morningside Park, dog and skate parks, and Mission Hill Park. Stacey led the effort to establish Hike and Bike trails along the Dry Comal Creek and Alligator Creek. Her ongoing projects include planning the New Braunfels cemetery riverfront enhancement, All-Ability Park, Market Plaza, river property upgrades and Land Park enhancements.
Stacey graduated from Texas A&M University in 1989, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Recreation and Parks Administration. She spent time in the cities of Waco and Arlington, and with Texas Parks and Wildlife, before returning home to New Braunfels in 2004.
