McKinney staff will apply for a grant from Collin County that would help fund an extension of Rowlett Creek Trail if awarded. McKinney City Council members greenlit applying to Collin County Parks and Open Spaces Project Funding Assistance Program during a June 17 meeting. Applications were due July 1 and an award announcement is expected in October. The city’s Parks and Recreation Department is requesting up to $300,000 for the project, according to a city document. Two new trail sections are planned at the north and south ends of Rowlett Creek Park which will connect it to the city’s overall trail system. McKinney to seek county grant for trail extension

More details

Both trail sections are now possible due to land acquisitions through parkland dedication from adjacent developments and will be located on city park properties, according to the document. The trails will be 12-feet wide and constructed with concrete. The project scope also includes a pedestrian bridge, site furnishings and renovations to Rowlett Creek Park’s playground and pavilion. The trail extension project is listed as a catalyst project in the department’s 2023 Trails Master Plan. The north trail extension is expected to run three quarters of a mile further north and the south trail extension will run about 350 feet to link with existing trails along Settlement Way, according to the plan.
