In this session, we will use two themes, The Rhythm of My Day and Hickory, Dickory, Tickle, & Bounce, to help strengthen emerging language-learning skills and develop lasting learning skills. You will learn how and why music and nursery rhymes can help your little one soothe into the day’s schedule and help build a strong body and mind network for learning. Plus, you’ll develop research-proven communication strategies with your child through listening activities, speaking “parentese,” and sign language. Bring home these same stress-free play and relaxation techniques from class and incorporate them into your daily routines.

Erwin Park Improvements

Construction begins Spring/Summer 2025

Erwin Park is known for its open fields, photo backdrops, and primitive campsites. It is also a mountain biker’s playground, a favorite of many residents and visitors. It will soon be expanded and enhanced.

The 212-acre park features three picnic pavilions, two restroom facilities, 12 campfire sites, ten miles of mountain bike trails, a progressive mountain bike skills course, playgrounds, and acres of open space.

The planned improvements and enhancements will modernize the facilities and create more opportunities for the community to use the park. Once completed, the park will include a formalized entrance, resurfaced roads, signage, a viewing overlook, campsites with water and electricity, new restrooms, and a shower house, along with a concrete trail.

GRAND ENTRANCE

The main entry will be formalized and highlighted with signage and a monument. All roads will be resurfaced, and parking areas will be renovated and paved with concrete. Directional signage will be installed.

CAMPING ESSENTIALS

All campsites will have electric and water service. New restroom facilities will be built, including a shower house. All site furnishings and pavilions will be new.

NEW FEATURES

A viewing overlook will be built, and a concrete trail around the northern loop will be laid. Additional ADA improvements will be incorporated throughout the project.

IT’S MY MCKINNEY PROJECT

In 1996, voters approved a one-half cent sales tax to promote and preserve the quality of life in McKinney. Local shopping and dining enable MCDC to make a direct impact back into the community. MCDC has invested more than $225 million into the community to support quality of life projects. The "It’s My McKinney" icon lets you know that your local dining and shopping helped make this project a reality.

REGISTRATION & POLICIES

FACILITIES

All facility participants are expected to follow the rules of the facilities. Specialty areas of the facilities (example: fitness center and the pools) have posted signs stating special rules specific to that area. Disregard or abuse of facility rules may result in removal by staff or police from the facility for a designated length of time or permanently.

CLASS FEES

Resident/Non-Resident Fees

McKinney residents make significant contributions to the operation of this agency through the payment of property taxes. These contributions are above the fees that they also pay for programs and services offered by the Parks and Recreation Department. In recognition of this contribution, McKinney residents qualify for the “Resident” rate for all programs. Those who live outside the boundaries of the City of McKinney qualify for the “Non-Resident” price.

Proof of Residency

You must provide proof of residency the first time you register in order to receive the “Resident” rate. Once you are in our system, you will not need to prove residency again unless your address changes. The only acceptable forms of proof include a valid driver’s license or state identification card or a current electric, gas, water or trash bill that shows your address. Resident rates are only available to those who live within the city limits of McKinney.

CHANGES/CANCELLATIONS

• Programs are sometimes canceled or altered due to low registration, changes in staff or facility availability.

• If a program has been canceled or altered, we will work with you to transfer your registration to another program of your choice.

REFUNDS

• Full refunds will be issued for any program canceled by the Parks and Recreation Department.

• Participants may request refunds for classes up to three business days before the program’s first meeting or practice.

• Refunds for classes under $8 will not be issued.

• Refunds for trips and contractual workshops will only be issued if the spot can be filled from the waiting list.

• A $5 administration fee will be charged against refunds for cancellations, including those due to medical problems, to cover clerical and administrative costs. There are no administrative fees charged when a program is canceled by the Parks and Recreation Department.

• Fees paid by credit cards will be refunded back to the credit card.

• Refund processing may take up to three weeks.

Refunds are not issued for any program costing $9 or less. Programs costing $10 or more will be refunded if the activity is sold out and the vacancy can be filled from the waitlist. If the vacancy cannot be filled a refund will not be issued.

If a program is canceled by the McKinney Senior Recreation Center or Senior Pool a full refund will be issued.

SRC TRIP POLICIES

• No refunds will be issued for cancelations made within 14 days of a trip, no matter the fee.

Waiting lists are automatically created when there are more registrations for a program than space. Your receipt will indicate if you are registered for a program or have been placed on the waiting list.

WARNING OF RISK

Recreational activities/programs are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental and emotional resources of each participant. Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity/ program. Understandably, not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen. Depending on the particular activity, participants must understand that certain risks, dangers and injuries due to inclement weather, slipping, falling, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision, instruction or officiating and all other circumstances inherent to indoor and outdoor recreational activities/programs exist. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the City of McKinney to guarantee absolute safety.
