The City of Texarkana, Texas has appointed Keith Beason as its new Parks Director following the planned retirement of longtime director Robby Robertson in April 2026. Over the next several months, Robertson will work closely with Beason to ensure a smooth transition of leadership and continuity for the city’s parks system.
City Manager David Orr congratulated Beason on his appointment, noting his strong track record and commitment to the community.
“We are proud to welcome Keith into this new role as Parks Director,” Orr said. “He’s no stranger to our parks system and the goals we have set for our community. Keith has already played an important role in advancing projects and keeping our parks at the center of community life. We’re confident his leadership will continue to strengthen our parks and recreation system for years to come.”
