Prosper's Parks and Recreation Board takes up parking at Raymond Community Park on Wednesday, Oct. 14, the 70-acre park on East First Street that the town is still finishing.

Members gather at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at Town Hall, 250 W. First St. The agenda lists the parking item for possible action but does not describe what change, if any, staff are proposing, and no supporting packet was posted with the agenda.

Where the park stands

The town's page for the park at 2101 E. First St. says it is in the construction close-out process. The playground and hike and bike trail will open as final work allows, and sections of parking may be closed off at times for safety while crews work. All sports fields remain closed while turf grass takes hold.

The tennis and pickleball courts are open until 10 p.m. daily under lights. The town asks drivers to enter from First Street because the Coit Road entrance is closed during construction. Planned amenities also include three restrooms.

Other items

The board is also scheduled to receive:

  • an update on athletic fields
  • an update on private coaching at town park facilities
  • an update on the development agreement for the Estates at Brookhollow
  • staff reports on recreation, park development and park operations

Members will also welcome a new board member and a new staff member, recognize a former member and elect a chair, vice chair and secretary.

Pickleball etiquette at Lakewood

Wednesday is also the town's designated casual and family pickleball night at Lakewood Community Park, 621 S. Coit Rd., from 6 to 8 p.m. The town's park page says players may keep a court for up to 30 minutes when others are waiting, then rotate off, and may play longer when no one is in line.

The town says the system depends mostly on players' cooperation, with signs at the courts. Both Lakewood and Raymond use paddle racks as a first-come waiting list when every court is full.

Lakewood's fields are closed for maintenance on Tuesdays and Sundays.
