Our Spring Creek Preserve is actually owned by Dallas County Open Spaces (DCOS). Via a long-time agreement with the city of Garland, DCOS relies on Garland Parks and Recreation Department to manage the day-to-day requirements of the sites.
The DCOS Program is a division of Dallas County Planning & Development and, including our Spring Creek Preserve, is made up of 21 preserves on over 4,000 acres of public land. Mia Whitham has served as the Administrator for the Dallas County Parks and Open Space Program since 2021.
Mia collaborates with 13 municipal partners and one special district on the management of 18 of the preserves and she oversees over 1,300 acres across three preserves in the County’s unincorporated area. She took the lead to create the 2024 Dallas County Open Space Plan – the first master plan for the Program in over 30 years. Mia focuses on enhancing preserve amenities, conditions, and access as well as supporting the County’s valued management partners.
Mia holds degrees in Forestry and Biology. She started her career as a park ranger and worked in regional planning prior to her role at Dallas County. She is a Certified Park and Recreation Professional (CPRP) and a Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM).
