Grand Park vision could come to life in 2018
Future plans could add more acreage, extend the park east of the Dallas North Tollway



Project Location

Grand Park is planned to be a 350-acre, master-planned regional park near the heart of Frisco.

The most recent plans for the park include a lake feature, walking trails and large amounts of open space paired with commercial development fronting the lake.

Grand Park is already planned to be the largest park in Frisco, but it could grow as it is developed. Future phases of the park could include adding acreage to the park east of the toll road and just south of the Frisco Discovery Center. This land could include approximately 180 acres that the city plans to purchase one day surrounding the former Exide Technologies battery recycling plant.

Factoring in all the land that the city already owns for Grand Park and near Frisco Square as well as the land the city could eventually own around the Exide plant, it is possible to have more than 600 acres of park and open space in the heart of the city, City Manager George Purefoy said.

“The vision for Grand Park is even growing bigger than it previously was,” Cheney said.

“Once Grand Park is completed, I feel that’s what Frisco will be best known for,” Cheney said. “It’s that kind of caliber of park.”
