Here are all the parks and playgrounds Plano is renovating or constructing

PLANO, TX – For Plano residents looking to go outside during the coronavirus outbreak, maintaining at least six feet of distance with others, here’s the link to a list of the city’s parks, and here’s one to the trail system.

Dallas has closed its parks and playgrounds, and Plano could follow suit. Before you go, check the city’s coronavirus news page.

Plano also has dozens of parks and recreation projects underway or under consideration, according to the city. Here are some of them.
