The overview

Northwest Community Park development plan

Northwest Community Park is the latest project coming to fruition in Frisco. Construction on the park is expected to be completed by June, said Shannon Coates, Frisco’s Parks and Recreation director. The project is right on schedule for the 18-month construction window, which started January 2025. The park is about 70% complete overall as of late February, Coates said. The 122-acre park will include bike facilities for all ages, a splash pad, playgrounds, public art, shade structures, observation deck, miles of hike-and- bike trails and expanding landscape ecologies, Coates said. “We have to build these destination parks that are exciting and unique enough that I can get someone to come from the southwest corner of Frisco to drive to the northwest corner of Frisco through the trac, however many miles it is,” she said. The $40 million park is dierent from other Frisco parks that have come online in recent years. Instead of a focus on sports elds, seen in parks such as Harold Bacchus Community Park, Northwest will have a focus on nature, Mayor Je Cheney said. “The needs of our citizens have changed over time, and truthfully our sports complexes are meeting the demand,” he said. “We have a lot of requests from our residents to have dierent types of parks. … This is a destination park we think our residents will drive to.” Northwest has a large focus on cycling as a sport, Coates said. For example, the project will have a bike park geared toward beginners, asphalt pump tracks for intermediate riders and o-road trails with jumps and other obstacles.
