May 15, 2021: The prairie located on the north end of Erwin Park sustained damage last year when cars drove over the prairie and parked in unauthorized areas. Volunteers installed erosion control mats during our Saturday event. The area has been marked off with caution tape. Grass seed was also applied across the area. The restoration of the prairie was an important step in preservation and maintenance of the park.
The trail work day event on May 15th was a larger joint effort with multiple volunteers and organizations. Volunteers on site included: Dallas Off-road Bike Association (DOBRA), friends of Erwin Park, the McKinney Parks Foundation, McKinney Running Club members, and snacks were provided by Sun & Ski Sports. A lot of progress was made on the mountain bike skills course.
