Grand park indeed! The city of Frisco's Grand Park will be 275 acres of park nirvana located in the heart of the city. The initial master plans for the park began in 2006 and planning for the first phase of development is currently underway. The park will be located on the west side of the Dallas North Tollway, east of Legacy Parkway, north of Stonebrook Parkway and south of Main Street/Cotton Gin Road. Grand Park will be the crown jewel of the City's civic area.

While the city has plenty of park space dedicated to active recreational use, Grand Park currently does not have any such plans proposed at this point. Current proposed use, according to the city of Frisco, includes: a great open space that can be used for one large event or subdivided for smaller venues; hike and bike trails; Children's play area; a festival hall building for a variety of uses; and mix use development to the west and north of the site overlooking the park. The northern part of the Grand Park is envisioned to be more urban with development and the southern portion to be more rural.

With so much development and growth taking place within the city of Frisco, the plans for more green space is bound to be very welcome news for it's residents! It's one of the questions I'm asked most and it's such a relief to see the city providing it's residents with more outdoor options.
