Park plans include nature pavilion for environmental education
BY MATT PAYNE
FRISCO A park in north Frisco being developed at the same time as Northwest Community Park will provide an additional recreational area near the upcoming PGA of America headquarters. Plans for Frisco on the Green call for amenities intended to spotlight and preserve wetland and wildlife. City Council on April 5 observed a presenta- tion on the plans given by Design Workshop principal Conners Ladner. “[Frisco on the Green] is really going to be ... the epicenter right now of environmental education,” Ladner said. “The existing landscape is already phenomenal.” A key fixture planned for the park located north of Panther Creek Parkway and along Teel Parkway includes a large pavilion with a waterside lookout and deck. The pavilion will feature an 800-square-foot classroom and an 800-square-foot forest-side obser- vation platform, according to Ladner’s presentation. “We have the opportunity to get students out, to get families out [and] to get classes out,” Ladner said. Frisco on the Green is also planned to have a “wetland landing” area equipped with a boardwalk system and a gathering and viewing deck. Construction is planned to begin next year.
