The Frisco City Council at the Nov. 5 meeting approved nearly $622,000 for a sports practice site on Independence Parkway.

The 12-acre site, on the northwest corner of Independence and Eldorado Parkway, is expected to take three to four months to complete and will provide youth sports teams a place to practice, easing crowding at neighborhood parks and other open spaces, according to city officials.

The park will have sidewalks and a drop-off area, and it will share parking with two schools in the area, Heritage High School and Maus Middle School.

The council approved $22,000 for additional tennis courts at the Warren Sports Complex on Eldorado Parkway.
