Toyota Donates $15 Million For New Park In Plano

During a meeting on Nov. 11, 2024, Plano City Council members approved several propositions, allowing Toyota North America to establish a new park on the southeast corner of Legacy Drive and Headquarters Drive, across from Toyota’s headquarters. 

Toyota will receive naming rights and input on the park’s design and operation in exchange for its support, with the park to be named Mendomi Park, which translates from Japanese as "taking care of workers like they are family." 

The city of Plano will contribute an additional $4 million, bringing the total investment in the park to $19 million. The city has committed to designing the park as a tranquil oasis, filled with tall native trees, lush shrubbery and abundant green spaces, all aimed at creating a serene, relaxing environment. Adding to this long-term vision, the city has pledged to maintain and operate Mendomi Park for a minimum of 50 years.

According to the city, the property will be purchased from Capital Commercial Investments, the company that owns The Park at Legacy development.
