Plans to revitalize three local parks in Plano are officially underway. During a recent meeting, the city council approved approximately $629,000 to kick off the first phase of renovations at Windhaven Park, Westwood Park and Steeplechase Park.
The approved funding will be used to cover architectural and design services as the city begins planning improvements for each park. This early investment marks the beginning of the process that will ultimately bring refreshed amenities and enhancements to these community spaces.
The money will come from Plano’s 2024-25 Capital Maintenance Fund, which is dedicated to maintaining and improving existing infrastructure.
Windhaven Park: $209,150
The Windhaven Park Renovation Project will move forward with design services in line with the master plan completed in June 2025. Funded in the 2024–26 Community Investment Plan, the project includes geotechnical work, construction plans, bidding and construction oversight.
The current playground, built in 1996, ranks high for replacement. Planned upgrades include two age-specific playgrounds with shade, a pavilion, realigned loop trail with fitness stations, drinking fountain with pet bowl, improved lighting and seating, drainage fixes, new irrigation and tree planting.
Westwood Park: $137,100
Westwood Park’s playground, installed in 1999, will be replaced. Planned improvements include shaded playground equipment, a relocated sport court for ADA compliance, a realigned trail, pavilion, site lighting, drainage fixes, new irrigation and added trees. The work follows the 2025 master plan developed through community input.
Steeplechase Park: $282,660
Plano City Council also approved the contract for design services at Steeplechase Park. The work follows the Steeplechase Park Master Plan, completed in April 2025 through community input.
The park’s existing playground and facilities, originally installed in 1996, are due for upgrades. Planned improvements include drainage and erosion fixes, a new playground area, renovated picnic shelter, resurfaced sports court, new sidewalks, irrigation replacement and added landscaping.
