library, which serves an estimated 139,000 visitors annually, was recently expanded by 4,000 square feet to add an
enclosed children’s area and programming space. In 2020, Mansfield adopted the Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and
Trails Master Plan. The Farr Best Theatre, Commission on the Arts Program, and the Mansfield Historical Society provide
cultural opportunities for the citizens of Mansfield. Local recreation venues include The Fields at Station 63 baseball
complex, Hawaiian Falls Water Park, Fieldhouse USA (an indoor basketball/volleyball facility with space for hosting special

retail, dining, and entertainment venues in the new 30-acre Staybolt District (pictured below).

The Mansfield economy is also supported by major retail developments, including the Shops at Broad. Existing industrial
businesses, including Klein Tools, Mouser Electronics, and Amazon continue to contribute to the City’s tax base. The
Mansfield Economic Development Corporation, which supports existing and new business through the ½ cent sales tax
adopted in 1997, enhances the City of Mansfield’s economic development program.
