Title A name given to the resource Tipps Canine Hollow Dedication: Don Tipps Description An account of the resource Don Tipps began his 35 year career in education with BISD as an art teacher, with the last 23 years as a counselor at Richland High School, until he retired in 1994. In 1980 Mr. Tipps joined the NRH Park & Recreation Board. At the time NRH only had 4 parks. After 8 years as a board member, Don was elected chairman, maintaining this position for the next ten years. During his time as chairman, NRH park space tippled in size. His wife Doris and daughter Tracye were also very involved and active in the community. Doris taught at Richland Junior High and retired as Principal of Smithfield middle School. She was a long-time member of Keep NRH Beautiful and was an advocate and member of many community projects. Tracye graduated from Richland High School and later from Texas A&M.

In 2003, after doing extensive research and visiting other dog parks, Tracye spoke before the Park & Recreation Board and the City Council to advocate for a dog park in North Richland Hills. Three years later, in June 2006, Tipps canine Hollow Dog Park Officially opened. In honor of his family's community involvement and Don's many years of service and contributions to the City of North Richland Hills, this dog park was named Tipps Canine Hollow.

Title A name given to the resource JoAnn Johnson Trail Dedication Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007 Description An account of the resource JoAnn Johnson and her husband James chose North Richland Hills to make their home and raise their family in 1995. JoAnn was first elected to the City Council in 1991 and became the first female Mayor Pro-Tem in North Richland Hills in 1995. In May 2006, after 15 years of service, she retired from the City council with the distinction as the longest-serving Council member in North Richland Hill's History. During her tenure, the city's population doubled. In 1992, with only four parks and few resources to address the needs of the park system, Joann Johnson, along with other council members, advocated and supported a voter-approved half-cent sales tax to improve parks. When JoAnn retired in 2006, North Richland Hills was home to over twenty parks and eleven miles of trails, all made possible by the half-cent sales tax. In 2000 the National Recreation and Park Association awarded the "National Gold Medal" to the city, recognizing North Richland Hills as one of the best park systems in the Nation. Along with her work with Parks and Recreation, JoAnn was instrumental in the development of the city's first "History book." JoAnn recognized the importance of honoring our history while looking forward to our future.
