Plans for Frisco on the Green call for amenities intended to spotlight and preserve wetland and wildlife. City Council on April 5 observed a presentation on the plans given by Conners Ladner, principal with Design Workshop.
“[Frisco on the Green] is really going to be ... the epicenter right now of environmental education,” Ladner said. “The existing landscape is already phenomenal.”
A key fixture planned for the park located north of Panther Creek Parkway and along Teel Parkway includes a large pavilion with a waterside lookout and deck. The pavilion would feature an 800-square-foot classroom and an 800-square-foot forestside observation platform, according to Ladner’s presentation.
“We have the opportunity to get students out, to get families out [and] to get classes out,” Ladner said.
Frisco on the Green is also planned to have a “wetland landing” area equipped with a boardwalk system and a gathering and viewing deck.
Construction on the park is planned to begin next year and at the same time as Northwest Community Park, according to the presentation.
