DONNA, Texas – Congressman Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34), joined by Mayor David Moreno and officials from the City of Donna, delivered $2 million in Fiscal Year 2026 Community Project Funding he secured for Phase Two construction of the Donna Multi-Purpose Sports Complex. Specifically, the funds will be used to develop the South side of the park with new recreational amenities, including a covered basketball pavilion, playground area, dog park, restrooms, workout stations, and a market walk for community events and vendors.
“A healthy, more connected community leads to a stronger economy, lower medical costs, and an improved quality of life,” said Congressman Gonzalez. “I proudly worked with the City of Donna to secure this investment and bring new opportunities for both our families and small businesses. I look forward to coming back for the eventual ribbon cutting and seeing South Texans create lifelong memories in safe, communal spaces.”
“It’s been over 40 years since the City of Donna invested in a park for our kids and our community. This park project is a reinvestment in the people who call Donna home and demonstrates our commitment to improving the quality of life for everyone in Donna. I want to thank U.S. Congressman Vicente Gonzalez for his tireless work in securing federal funding for Donna. This project would not have been possible without his support in Washington,” said Mayor Moreno.
According to the City of Donna’s Parks and Recreation Department, the additions under Phase Two of construction will expand the City’s ability to host tournaments, public events, fitness activities, and year-round programming while creating additional spaces for youth activities, family recreation, and community gatherings for residents.
As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Gonzalez successfully secured $12.6 million in federal funds for 15 community projects this past year, including for Phase Two construction of the Donna Multi-Purpose Sports Complex.
