Kaleidoscope Park opens to public, brings nature space to Frisco’s Hall Park The laughs and exclamations of children and families lled Kaleidoscope Park for the rst time when it opened Oct. 5 to the public. Kaleidoscope Park brings nature and art together for the public, o cials said during an Oct. 5 ribbon- cutting event. The park comes from a private-public partnership between the city of Frisco and the Hall Group. The park features a playground, splash pad, pavilions, performance stage and the largest sculpture in North Texas—”Butter y Rest Stop” by artist Janet Echelman. “Everything’s bigger in Frisco,” said Craig Hall, chairman and founder of the Hall Group, about the sculpture. Hall said the park has been a long time coming and is excited to see it reach fruition. Kaleidoscope Park makes Hall Park more than just a place to go to work, Mayor Je Cheney said. “It’s a place to gather,” he said. “It’s a community space.”
