McKinney officials are developing plans for a new recreation center and water pump station north of Bloomdale Road.

At a glance: McKinney City Council members approved a professional services contract with Parkhill Frisco during a Feb. 3 meeting. The firm will draft a master site plan for a proposed recreation center and water pump station on 111 acres of land in north McKinney.

The contract cost is not to exceed $199,780 which includes $20,000 in contingency funds, according to the city document.

In case you missed it: Council members approved the purchase of 110.42 acres from McKinney ISD in January for the project. City officials intend to develop a “multigenerational” recreation center, water pump station and other civic uses, according to a city document.

Looking ahead: The project is expected to take six months, according to Parkhill’s proposal. Parkhill officials will create an “implementable vision” for the site and its future facilities, according to the proposal.
