8 exciting new things coming to Frisco

Ranked as the No. 1 Best Place to Live in Collin County, Frisco is already a pretty awesome place to call home.

Our hometown keeps getting better all the time, with new developments adding more parks, trails, dining and entertainment venues, and other attractions that will burnish our top-rated quality of life.

Here’s the latest on eight new projects that have recently opened or are coming soon to our hometown. We can hardly wait!

Kaleidoscope Park

Now open at SH 121 and Dallas North Tollway, Kaleidoscope Park is a dynamic arts and culture destination for Frisco and all of North Texas, with free year-round programming including concerts, markets, musical and dance performances, and a variety of health and recreational activities.

A public-private partnership between the city of Frisco, HALL Park and Communities Development Foundation, Kaleidoscope Park features public art, gardens, children’s play area, dog park, performance lawns, technology terraces, shaded promenades and plazas.

The park’s most iconic feature is Butterfly Rest Stop, one of the largest outdoor public art installations in Texas, with colorful petal-shaped canopies that appear to float in the air. It’s crafted from nearly 90 miles of multi-colored fiber that captures the delicate beauty and vibrant hues of milkweed flowers.

Grand Park

Late 2025 will see the official groundbreaking for Frisco’s long-envisioned Grand Park, a 1,000-acre park and greenbelt that’s so vast, it will span from Main Street west to Lewisville Lake. Grand Park is so large, it’s seen as a generational project that will most likely be completed over a 50-year period, according to Frisco Mayor Jeff Cheney.

Grand Park will be divided into five districts that will be developed one at a time, including Civic Park, Adventure Play, Sports Park, Botanic Gardens and a natural section with multi-use trails.

Civic Park will be the first district to get underway following the groundbreaking in late 2025. It will include a five-acre pond, amphitheater and sculpture garden.

Right now, visitors can enjoy Big Bluestem Trail, an unpaved 2.2-mile trail in a future section of Grand Park.

More new Frisco parks

Frisco already has one of the best park departments of any city in the nation, with more than 60 public parks and robust systems of trails and natural areas.  And more new parks are on the way.  

One of the most exciting new parks, Buffalo Ridge Park, will be located right inside The Grove Frisco, adjacent to Frisco ISD’s No. 1 ranked Liberty High School.

This approximately 7.6-acre park is still in the design stage, with an initial vision to create a vibrant neighborhood park that celebrates the site’s forest canopy through an array of playful interactions and immersive nature experiences. The space will also provide the community with gathering opportunities and other active and passive park amenities.

Buffalo Ridge Park is expected to be completed by the end of 2025, according to the city of Frisco.

Other new Frisco parks under development include Frisco on the Green, a shaded, quiet park with improved and restored bottomland hardwood forests that set the stage for immersive, nature-focused experiences, providing increased biodiversity. The centerpiece of the park will be the nature pavilion, a nest-like structure that brings users into the tree canopy and within view of diverse wetland flora and fauna.

Described as a “precious community asset” for Frisco and as a destination for the wider region, Northwest Community Park will be a 120-acre park with acres of restored and enhanced Blackland Prairie providing a refuge for wildlife and an immersive retreat for visitors. Miles of trails for hikers, runners, and cyclists weave through the site, connecting playgrounds, splash pads, plazas, and gardens.

Main Street Redo for FIFA 2026

Excitement is building as Frisco and North Texas prepare to host the parts of the FIFA World Cup in the summer of 2026. Long after the last game has finished, the World Cup legacy will live on in Frisco, thanks to major upgrades to the historic Rail District downtown.

2025 will be a year of construction, but soon any inconveniences will yield to a reimagined downtown, especially along Elm and Main streets, with wider sidewalks with trees and benches, improved parking and street lighting.

Fourth Street will be closed to vehicular traffic and will be transformed into a permanent plaza with a rail-themed covered path, amphitheater, a large green space with open seating, restrooms and a parking garage.

The Rail Yard improvements will be completed just in time for Frisco’s 125^th birthday, providing new generations of residents with a place where they can gather and discover their city’s historic roots.

More soccer improvements

While it won’t be ready in time for FIFA in 2026, Frisco’s Toyota Stadium will undergo a $182 million renovation starting this year, designed to maintain its status as one of the nation’s premier soccer stadiums. Home to FC Dallas, the stadium will get a new roof, 10% more seating, 26% more bathrooms, and state-of-the-art sound and video systems.

The renovations will enhance Frisco’s dynamic and progressive standing as Sports City USA, home to top-tier sports organizations such as the Dallas Cowboys, as well as digital gaming and E-sports.

Our Frisco ISD students will also benefit from improvements to Toyota Stadium. It’s part of several district partnerships that help students develop their athletic talents, along with PGA of America and The Star in Frisco, home to the Cowboys.

In The Mix

Frisco’s urban spine, the North Platinum Corridor along the Dallas North Tollway, will get a major boost with the addition of The Mix, which will bring retail, an upscale grocery store, two hotels, and office and medical space. All these attractions will be arranged around a nine-acre central park that will provide Frisco residents with a new place to gather and play.

Formerly known as Wade Park, The Mix got a major boost from Frisco in late 2024, when city council approved up to $113.4 in funding to pave the way for construction of this 112-acre mixed-use development.

With a projected value of $3 billion upon completion, The Mix will join approximately 20 other major developments where Frisco residents can work and play in the North Platinum Corridor, including PGA of America, The Star, Frisco Station and The Railhead.

More arts and music for Frisco

Two major projects now under way promise to greatly expand the opportunities to enjoy live music and cultural performances in Frisco.

The Frisco Center for the Arts has a vision for a 2,800-seat performance hall capable of housing large productions such as touring Broadway shows, plus a smaller 300- to 400-seat hall for local community organizations and events. The facility will also include support spaces, rehearsal area and creative spaces for the visual arts.

Frisco City Council approved the design team in late 2024, with the first concept designs expected in early 2025.

With an anticipated opening in 2025, Music Street Frisco promises to be a 6.7-acre, $40 million entertainment complex that will include a 1,020-seat indoor performance hall, a 400-seat outdoor performance stage, and multiple restaurants.

Representing an unprecedented collaboration of record executives, developers, talent agents and celebrities and more, Music Street is located in the heart of Frisco, across from The Star.
