City officials in Frisco have unveiled an early conceptual design for the Northwest Community Park, which includes a structure intended for gravity riding. The proposed facility would allow cyclists to ride down a tower, with renderings depicting a structure approximately 100 feet tall.

The estimated price tag for the full 100-foot version was listed at $2.43 million. The park is located directly south of the upcoming PGA Frisco headquarters.
