Community Park

Description

Moore Park is undeveloped parkland owned by the City of Plano and bordered on two sides by the City of Allen. Previous updates to the park master plan proposed lighted athletic fields on the park site and there are several signs notifying neighbors of this proposed purpose.

Potential Improvements

The site was previously agricultural land, so the terrain is mostly flat with few trees, making it ideal for athletic fields. However, the park should also include amenities that nearby residents will use such as playgrounds, walking trails, and nature walks. Timed lighting should be provided with the athletic fields as well as a buffer between the fields and houses to reduce the noise and light impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. Since the park is bordered on three sides by neighborhoods, community involvement will be especially important during the park design process.

Additionally, the current Bicycle Transportation Plan identifies a proposed trail along the northern park boundary and eastern edge along Cottonwood Creek, so connectivity to the future trail is important. There is a small drainageway running through the park that could be converted into a focal point by adding a walking trail adjacent to it and adding native plants. Potential constraints include soil remediation from agricultural products.
