An initial bid for improvements at Pilot Knoll Park was far over budget, Stevens said. This led the city to adopt a construction manager at-risk model, meaning if the project ends up costing more than anticipated, the city will not be held financially responsible. Final designs are still in progress, with Dean Construction set to help refine cabin designs and obtain competitive bids.
Flower Mound plans to start spending the $82 million approved in the May 2025 bond over the next 5 years, and update the Parks and Recreation Department’s master plan. “It’s outdated and we need to get new recommendations, have new priorities [and] hear from the public,” Jennings said. Stevens said Highland Village plans to expand its trails.
2024: Ongoing Phase 1 design, received over-budget bid 2023: Hired Dunaway for professional design services
