Wichita Falls city council backs grant for Circle Trail project
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — The city is attempting to complete the Circle Trail by applying for a grant through the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). On Tuesday, June 3, Wichita Falls city council signed a resolution supporting the city's efforts. It's a step that city officials needed to take to apply for the grant by Friday, June 20. Assistant Public Works Director Tyson Traw said the grant is competitive. If approved, the grant will cover 80% of the construction cost. The city will match 20%. The total cost is about $5.6 million. 'This will include the construction funds for the construction, design and environmental permitting if necessary,' Traw said. 'We intend to incorporate a lot of safety measures, bollards and things like that that we've heard from concerned citizens.' At the last city council meeting, Lake Shore Drive neighbors continued to raise concerns about the trail's location. Traw said the city should know by October whether it has received the grant. From there, it could be another two-and-a-half years before the last of the trail is complete. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Wichita Falls camp empowers kids with hands-on learning
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — A local summer camp is making big waves this year, not just with swimming pools, but with reading, math, and real-world skills. Kids in Wichita Falls have a chance to dive into more than just fun this summer. The All Hands Playwell Summer Camp will be packed with activites designed to support kids emotionally, socially, and academically for just $20. It's more than just a summer camp at All Hands Cultural Community Center, its a place where kids come to grow. 'Relationships come first with the students, and we just empower individuals to grow personally, grow spiritually, kind of establish their identity and who they are. And then also on top of that, just having that career readiness,' Jackson said. For just $20 per child, campers can choose a variety of activities, from swimming and cosmetology, to gardening, math lessons, bible study and more. 'Culinary arts, first aid, cosmetology, art classes, gardening, reading, math, gym and life skills, as well as spiritual classes like bible study.' One of the most pivotal classes is life skills, taught by camp leader, Eternity Jackson. 'Anger management, stress management, mental health classes, physical health like nutrition like it,' Jackson said. 'It ranges from the small thing to the large things there all hands on. So it's not like, oh, they're just doing a worksheet. You know, they're actually gonna walk through those scenarios and kind of teach us like, okay, this is what I learned. And now I'm going to actually apply to my life' Free meals are also included, making this camp a lifeline for working families during the long summer months. 'In all honestly, we understand that people, especially in this area can't really afford it. And so, even with the donations, like a lot of people donate to this program just because they have seen the results in the past, it doesn't only benefit their behavior here, it also benefits their behavior at school and in the community.' From swimming, to school prep, all hands is making sure every child has a safe and supportive place to grow this summer. On Friday, June 13, the center will partner with the Wichita Falls Food Bank for a free food distribution from from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
