LC Ward 3 Pryce/Miller Recreation Center

May this day be a gentle celebration of every woman who has ever mothered us—whether through birth, through love, or through the quiet, steadfast ways she helped us become who we are.

To the women still with us, may they feel the gratitude that often goes unspoken but never unfelt.

To the women who have passed, may their memory continue to warm the rooms they once filled with laughter, guidance, and grace.

Wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day from your Ward 3 Recreation family!!

Please share!!! There is a nationwide lifeguard shortage, and to keep all of our amazing programs running, we need people who are interested in summer and/or part-time employment year round. If you or someone you know are interested but not sure of their swimming ability, I would be happy to assess and train them!

If you want one of the last spots on our Lifeguard Certification Class and are interested in becoming a lifeguard for Ward 3, contact us immediately at

Hop into spring with smiles, sunshine, and a basket full of fun! 🐰🌷 Ward 3 Recreation wishes you a Happy Easter — may your day be filled with laughter, love, and a few extra jellybeans!

Post a picture in the comments and say hello!!!

Today we celebrate someone who embodies the spirit of service that Dr. King championed. Our Executive Director, Kip Texada, has always led with humility, compassion, and unwavering dedication — so much so that he quietly kept from us the news that he was being honored with the Unsung Hero Award on MLK Day.

This dream of Martin Luther King Jr. isn’t a finished product to be admired; it’s a blueprint to be built every day, in every situation — at home, at work, in the store and on the street. Dr. James Dixon — pastor of The Community of Faith Church in Houston and speaker of Friday morning’s MLK Breakfast at L’Auberge Casino Resort — said the dream means continually choosing to act with love, to practice nonviolence in words, and to keep the faith that a better world is possible, one step at a time.

“He truly believed in equality, equity, freedom, justice. He believed in the principle of love your neighbor as yourself. Those were his values. It wasn’t a practice, it was a foundational principle for him. He saw something, he believed in something, he hoped for something.” King believed that people with similar values could come together and create a beloved community.

Mr. Kip Texada being recognized couldn’t be more fitting. Someone’s impact is often felt long before it’s seen, and their leadership strengthens our community in ways that rarely seek the spotlight. Even when recognized, Mr. Texada chose silence — not out of secrecy, but out of modesty.

On behalf of all of us at Ward 3 Recreation, Congratulations, Mr. Texada!

The New Year is approach and LC Ward 3 Recreation wants to Celebrate 20 years of being in Operation with the community who has made it all possible!
