Celina's recreation destinations include Old Celina Park and smaller spaces near downtown. Old Celina Park combines sports fields with walking routes and catch-and-release lakes. Founders Station Park sits one block east of the town square and includes courts, a playground, and a gazebo. The downtown square provides a separate civic and business reference point when exploring different parts of the city.

Celina publishes park information and project updates, including distinctions between operating destinations and parks still in design or development. Those distinctions matter when comparing a property near planned open space. Check the current project status, identify the usable park entrance, and review the relevant facility or event information before relying on a future amenity or assuming that a nearby field is available for unscheduled use.

### Places to know

**Old Celina Park.** A community recreation destination with sports fields, walking routes, and catch-and-release lakes.

**Founders Station Park.** A downtown-area park with courts, playground space, and a gazebo.

**Celina Town Square.** The downtown reference point one block west of Founders Station Park.

### Check at the address, not the town name

- Distinguish parks operating now from locations listed as in design or development in the city's park information.
- Check Old Celina Park facilities and event arrangements separately from the small downtown park and town square.
- School attendance zones, flood risk, HOA obligations, utilities and property taxes follow the exact address. Use current records: [TEA school district locator](https://tea.texas.gov/families-and-students/school-district-locator/school-district-locator?ref=tx.co), [FEMA flood maps](https://msc.fema.gov/portal/home?ref=tx.co), [county appraisal districts](https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/property-tax/county-directory/?ref=tx.co).
