Doubletree Ranch Park Master Plan Development
We held two public workshops, one on July 16 at the site and the other on August 11, seeking input on the Doubletree Ranch Park Master Plan Development. Three conceptual master plans were created based on the input received. Of the three plans, a proposed final master plan was created, utilizing the input received at the public forum and via e-mail.
Our desire is to create a multifunctional, "one-of-a-kind" park that is environmentally responsible, sustainable for heavy use and distinctive to Highland Village's history and image. The park will provide a variety of activities and experiences that incorporate active recreation, education, art, and community entertainment.
