A new Frisco neighborhood park is in its final stretch. Rogers Settlement Park, off Research Road north of Eldorado Parkway, has passed the 90% completion mark, and substantial completion is expected by the end of November, according to the Play Frisco report on the City Council's Nov. 3 agenda.
The report lists what is already done and what is left:
- the playground and flatwork are complete
- parking and all of the park's interior walking paths are finished
- crews are working on final landscaping and signage
- a northern trail segment is under construction to make a last connection under the BNSF railroad tracks
Photos in the report show an entrance to the park's dog park and a welcome area with a pavilion and paths leading to the dog areas and the playground. The report does not give an opening date.
Another dog park on the table
Before the regular meeting, the council's 4 p.m. work session on Tuesday lists a "discussion regarding a new City of Frisco Dog Park." The city has not posted any documents with that item, so its location and cost were not available Thursday. The same work session includes a discussion of expanding the clinic at the Frisco Employee Wellness Center.
Northwest Community Park traffic
The parks report also says Northwest Community Park has drawn more than 62,000 visitors since it opened Sept. 19. Heavy rain in October damaged the park's Flow and Free Ride trails, and staff repaired and reshaped them within a few days, the report says.
