Flower Mound council approves contract to create master plan for town park
The future of Leonard and Helen Johns Park in Flower Mound is being examined as town officials seek to create a master plan for the park. On June 3, council approved a professional services agreement for $75,750 with design consultant MHS Planning & Design LLC for the master-planning of the park, located at 1850 Timber Creek Road. The park has been in existence since 1985. In a council memo, town officials said the park has been “incrementally improved throughout the years but has never received a proper master plan.”
