The city of Southlake plans to develop a city park at the site of Old Dragon Stadium, the original football stadium for Carroll High School.

Carroll ISD announced the sale of the stadium and nearby fields for $8.75 million during its meeting Nov. 3, according to previous reporting. The next day, the Southlake City Council met and the purchase of the stadium at 2563 N. Carroll Ave. was discussed.

What’s next: The project envisions new amenities and open spaces that meet community needs, which could include flexible practice fields, a playground and a walking trail celebrating Carroll Dragons football—its teams, coaches, players, and state championships, according to the city website.

Truva Mediterranean Bar and Grill is now open in Colleyville, Owner Can Karatas said. 

The details: The restaurant serves gyro plates, salmon, Turkish lasagna, lamb chops, handmade fresh bread and seafood, Karatas said. 

The space seats 115 people and has two private rooms and a patio, Karatas said.
 
This is Karatas’ fourth restaurant in Texas and the largest Turkish Mediterranean restaurant in Texas, he said.
