The town received $750,000 from the state for its planned Trotter Park project, according to a news release. The funding was part of $30.9 million in grants awarded by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission, per the news release.
The gist
As a condition for receiving the grant, the town must keep Trotter Park accessible to the public, properly maintained and designated as park land in perpetuity, according to the release. The grant from the state will be used, along with other city funds to pay for the project, as previously reported by Community Impact.
“This $750,000 grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will have a tremendous impact on our community by allowing us to enhance outdoor recreation opportunities for all residents,” Flower Mound’s Parks and Recreations Director Chuck Jennings said in an email. “It will help us create spaces where families can gather, children can play, and individuals can enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle.”
The 13-acre park will include tennis, pickleball and basketball courts, a plaza space, a playground, a trail, and more.
What’s next?
Design work for Trotter Park is underway, and is expected to be completed in October.
Construction on the park is planned to start early next year with work lasting between 12-15 months. Officials expect a grand opening for the park in spring 2027.
