City of College Station Encourages Residents To Utilize Cooling Stations

The Bryan Police Department says the skeletal remains uncovered Wednesday are believed to be those of a female. An identification card was located near the remains and after making contacting with family, they confirmed that their loved one has been missing for an extended period of time. A surveying crew located the remains yesterday in the 5900 block of Jones Road, near what is believed to be a homeless encampment. The preliminary identification is not being released. The remains will now be the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification. They will conduct a complete examination, including DNA analysis, and dental comparisons, in hopes of confirming the decedent’s identity.

Exploring all that the City of Bryan Parks, Recreation & Facility Services Department has to offer is easier than ever, thanks to the recent launch of a new mobile app. The free Bryan Parks & Recreation app is now available for iPhone and Android, and features simple ways to register for programs, rent facilities, find facility passes, and receive up-to-the minute program notifications at your fingertips. An account is required, however, the app utilizes the same user account information as the city’s parks registration website, allowing for a seamless transition between the website and the mobile app. Residents who are new to parks registration should create their account on the registration website before downloading the app. While the new app offers streamlined registration, options to make reservations by phone or in person remain. Here’s what you can expect from the new app: Activities & Programs Find programs for all ages! Browse programs for youth, adults and seniors, including sports, camps, swim lessons, fitness classes and more. The entire registration and payment process can be completed in the app. Court & Pavilion Rentals Want to reserve an outdoor pavilion, tennis court or pickleball court? See what’s available and make reservations directly from the app. Facility Passes & Memberships View and manage purchased pool passes and tennis center memberships in the app. Barcodes can be scanned directly from the app, allowing quick and convenient access to facilities. Mobile-Exclusive Notifications Through the new app, parks staff can send urgent notifications about program updates, including weather notices, registration deadlines and other announcements.
