It honors **Harry Myers (1914–1983)**, a longtime community leader who served as Rockwall’s mayor from 1968 until his passing. His steady leadership helped shape Rockwall during years of rapid growth, and the park stands as a tribute to his service and commitment to the city. A fitting legacy for a place that still brings Rockwall families together today. ![](https://comingsoon.steavycarter.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/harry-myers-google-map-1024x596.png) --- **Just a Quick (and Slightly Amusing) Clarification:** This article is about *Harry Myers Park* — the fun one with playgrounds, splash pads, and fishing ponds.
