Meet East Dallas’ Park & Recreation District 2 Board representative, Fonya Naomi Mondell. ⁠
⁠
Mondell, a longtime East Dallas resident who grew up off Henderson Avenue, joined the park board about five years ago. She was part of the effort to save the baseball field at Reverchon Park and was asked to join when Mayor Pro Tem Jesse Moreno left the Park Board to run for city council. ⁠
⁠
Women are a minority presence on the Dallas Park and Recreation Board, and we in East Dallas can claim one of them as a representative. To Mondell, she’s not on the board to be well-known — just a volunteer acting on behalf of the neighbors in her district. “I just get things done and help, and I’m just a bridge,” she says. “I’m the connector.”⁠
⁠
In her tenure so far, Garrett Park at Henderson and Greenville Avenues got a new playground and has been cleaned up, Mondell says. ⁠
