Dunkin consultant for J.T. Dunkin and Associates gave a presentation on the future outlook on neighborhood parks. He presented different concepts and an overview of all the potential areas for parks. He stated most parks will be about 8-10 acres in each area. One alternative plan is to tie in the parks along the greenbelt, flood plains and power lines. Approximately nine neighborhood parks are planned in the Master Plan. Dunkin also explained that the connection of roads to allow easy access in and out of Wylie is crucial for future growth. Jerry Hougan asked the question, when two community parks are finished, will that be all the ball fields the City of Wylie needs? Dunkin said he would look into the future needs for Wylie. Next month, Dunkin will present possibilities in developing trails. Dunkin requested numbers on the amount of users for the organized programs in Wylie.
