Fort Worth-based Cook Children’s Health Care System opened Cook Children’s Medical Center Prosper in 2023 after noticing an influx of families along major corridors like I-35 and SH 121, said Kevin Greene, president of Cook Children’s Prosper.

What's new: The Prosper campus recently expanded its care options with a neonatal intensive care unit, and Greene said the hospital is ready to continue expanding alongside North Texas’s growing population.

Looking ahead: When the NICU needs more space, it has 10 empty rooms that can be converted into additional beds. Eventually, the campus includes enough land to add a second tower to the medical center, and the health system owns adjacent property it plans to use for outpatient services.

Three years after it was announced, Universal Kids Resort is set to open its doors in Frisco on July 1.

The details: The 97-acre site was intentionally designed on a smaller scale for young children and their families in mind, said Dan Cuffe, vice president and general manager of Universal Kids Resort. It will act as an introduction to the Universal experience, he said. The theme park has seven lands themed around characters, including the Minions, SpongeBob SquarePants and Shrek, set to take center stage and a hotel to anchor the resort.

“Universal Kids Resort has a distinctive look and feel from our existing parks because it was designed and built specifically for kids,” Cuffe said in an email.

Quote of note: “It’s going to be something that’s really unique about growing up in Frisco,” Mayor Jeff Cheney said. “It’s going to be kind of a big part of the Frisco DNA going forward.”
