New parks, trail additions on horizon for Frisco From the cover

The big picture

This year should be just as busy as 2024—the city’s parks and trails project dashboard has 50 projects in the queue, eight under construction, eight on hold and more being designed or planned, Coates said. Multiple parks projects were announced or made signicant progress in 2024, namely Grand Park, which is expected to break ground before the end of 2025 with kayaking ponds, a nature center and more in its 300-acre Community Hub. “Our mission is creating wellbeing through play,” Coates said. One of the ways the city’s parks and recreation team works toward that mission is by connecting the community through hike and bike trails, she said. Coates said the start of the COVID-19 pandemic showed that open space and parkland can be critical because it allowed people to work out or do similar activities without going to a gym. Another major project, Northwest Community Park, is expected to break ground Jan. 22. The park will soon include a 5K-sized trail, bike skills tracks and an amphitheater. “You essentially will be able to take your very youngest kids who are beginning bike riders, put them in the bike park and teach them skills and they have the capacity to grow as cyclists,” Coates said. City ocials approved two construction contracts for the park—$3.45 million for the bike trails and $34.21 million for the rest—in November. “Anytime that we can get more amenities and dierent types of trail systems and more amenities at our trail systems that provide experiences for all users, that’s a win for us,” said Jacob Nilz, president of the Dallas O-Road Bike Association, which maintains the park’s trails.
