Northwest Community Park is the latest project coming to fruition in Frisco.
The details: Construction on the park is expected to be completed by June, said Shannon Coates, Frisco’s Parks and Recreation director. The project is right on schedule for the 18-month construction window, which started January 2025.
The 122-acre park will include bike facilities for all ages, a splash pad, playgrounds, public art, shade structures, observation deck, miles of hike-and-bike trails and expanding landscape ecologies, Coates said.
Some context: The park’s bike trails will be maintained by the Dallas Off-Road Bicycling Association, or DORBA, once it is completed. Volunteering to maintain trails is a large part of DORBA, said Rick McGrath, the organization’s development director.
McGrath said the park will become the “gold standard” for what a park with cycling in mind should be in North Texas.
Quote of note: “When people either get on a bike or they decide to walk the trail through the woods, they’re not going to feel like they’re in Frisco,” Mayor Jeff Cheney said.
