Come Celebrate the 10th Birthday of Windmill Playground!

COMMUNITY BUILD HOMECOMING CELEBRATION
May 20 | 9-11 a.m.
Windmill Playground at Frontier Park stands as a glowing symbol of Prosper's small town spirit and community fortitude. In gratitude and recognition for all who were involved in the Community Build, Parks and Recreation will host a Homecoming on May 20! The community is invited. Please join us from 9-11 a.m. at the Frontier Park pavilion to mix and mingle and share playground stories! A light breakfast will be served. Yes, we have planned time to head over to the playground to play and please expect a group photo!
Did you know that Windmill Playground was built solely from community donations and volunteer efforts? Volunteers devoted countless hours to fundraising, visioning, and procuring donated materials. Nearly 2,000 PISD students entered the "Draw Your Dream Playground," contest which included suggesting a name. The moniker, Windmill Playground, was chosen from these entries. When it came time for physically building the playground structures, expertise provided by local businesses combined with the sweat of residents and Town staff helped to complete the Community Build in an incredible seven days!
We Salute You, Community Builders!
959 volunteers, 25 Town employees, and 17 Firefighters

Raymond Community Park at First Street and Coit Road |
|
On April 12, the Town Council adopted a resolution to name/rename First and Coit Community Park to Raymond Community Park, after former Director of Parks and Recreation Dudley Raymond. Flanked by the Council, Mayor Ray Smith presented a framed copy of the resolution to Dudley’s wife Bridget, as his children, Heidi and Cooper, looked on.
Residents are encouraged to visit the Raymond Community Park to take advantage of the interim amenities offered prior to development, which include a new trail head; a soft surface, primitive walking trail; wildlife viewing opportunities and a demonstration garden. The architect for the final park plan has been hired and design has begun.
