The details
Mayberry broke down last year’s numbers by activity at The Keller Pointe, Keller Senior Activities Center, parks and special events and programs.
Mayberry said The Keller Pointe had 3,285 average monthly memberships and members visited the facility almost 73,000 times last year. He added 1,400 recreational programs were offered, which had 6,300 participants.
In terms of the Keller Senior Activities Center, Mayberry listed the following statistics for 2024:
- 2,808 members
- 54,185 total visits
- 64 programs offered
- 43 special events
“Our volunteers help teach classes, assist new members, serve lunches and help us provide excellent customer service,” Mayberry said. “If you take what a volunteer hour is worth, which is $33.50, we’re bringing in $80,000 in volunteer service.”
Volunteers also helped make special events and programs happen last year. Mayberry said volunteers contributed 4,000 hours—translating into almost $135,000 worth of service—to help more than 62,000 guests attend different events throughout the city last year.
Looking ahead
Mayberry said goals for 2025 include replacing weight equipment at The Keller Pointe and addressing pickleball overcrowding at the Keller Senior Activities Center.
One of the city’s largest current projects is the renovation of Keller Sports Park, which is slated for completion by the end of the year. Mayberry’s presentation included drone footage of progress on the various components of the Sports Park, which include installing new softball and baseball fields, soccer fields and an equestrian arena.
What they’re saying
Mayor Armin Mizani, who attended the meeting by phone, shared accolades for all of the hard work that Mayberry and his staff do to make sure Keller residents and visitors enjoy the city’s parks and recreational facilities.
“You guys take a lot of pride in what you do,” Mizani said. “We have a great parks team, so thank y’all for what you do.”
