The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department was awarded a $1.5 million Project Grant from the Department of the Interior National Park Service under the Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning federal grant program (CFDA 15.916) to develop the new Crossroads Park in Terrell, Texas. As the primary awardee, Texas Parks and Wildlife will subgrant funds to the City of Terrell to construct Crossroads Park by September 2025.
The park will feature sustainable design elements like native landscaping with drip irrigation, multi-use trails connecting nearby communities and greenways, energy efficient solar LED lighting, a playground, plaza, shade structures, and water feature. Additional site amenities to be installed with the funding include picnic areas, benches, trash cans, pet waste stations, and signage. The new park aims to benefit the local community by providing space for walking, sightseeing, viewing nature, running, and jogging while connecting to other greenways and trails.
