It connects McKinney, Allen, Frisco, and Plano residents with Lewisville, Flower Mound, Coppell, Grapevine, Southlake, Colleyville, and the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport.

• Starting close to home, Winniford Park is a 16-acre, quaint neighborhood park that has a first-come-first serve picnic shelter, a barrier-free play structure, a multi-purpose court, two-and-a-half-acre ponds with fishing, hike and bike trails, and an open turf for athletics.

• Just to the north is E.A. Randles Park, a 30-acre neighborhood park at Johnson Elementary. It, too, has a first-come-first serve picnic shelter, a barrier-free play structure, swings, a baseball/softball backstop on on athletic field, multi-purpose courts, open turf areas for soccer, and a hike and bike trail.

• If this isn’t enough, next to Towne Lake is the Wilson Creek Softball and Baseball Complex, which features six fields, bullpens, dugouts, restrooms, screens, and is open year-round.

Opened in 2004, the TPC at Craig Ranch has been named one of the 10 best golf courses in Texas by Golf Digest (2011) and is one of only two courses in the DFW area certified as an Audubon Cooperative System.
