Cottonwood Park

Cottonwood Park is a 3.2-acre neighborhood park located at the intersection of McDonald Street and McMakin Street in McKinney, Texas. The park recently underwent significant renovations, completed in 2021, with an investment of over $3.17 million.

As part of the renovation project, Cottonwood Park now features updated facilities designed to cater to various age groups and interests. The park includes play equipment suitable for different age ranges, providing a safe and engaging environment for children. A notable addition is the seasonal splash pad, offering a refreshing water feature for visitors to enjoy during warmer months.

For sports enthusiasts, the park boasts a shaded basketball court, allowing for comfortable play even on sunny days. The renovation also included the construction of two pavilions, which provide covered areas for picnics, gatherings, or simply relaxing in the shade.

Cottonwood Park now incorporates pedestrian paths, enhancing accessibility and encouraging walking or jogging within the park grounds. The renovation also maintained a large uncovered green space, preserving an area for open play, relaxation, and community events.

To support food-oriented gatherings and events, the park includes dedicated parking spaces for food trucks, adding a convenient option for visitors to enjoy various cuisines while at the park.

These improvements have transformed Cottonwood Park into a more vibrant and functional community space, catering to a wide range of recreational needs for McKinney residents.
