The MPF will be organizing volunteers for projects such as trail maintenance, trail building, native plantings, and other projects requested by the city Parks Dept. We also will partner with other local groups such as the McKinney Garden Club and DORBA, who built and maintains the mountain bike trail in Erwin Park. We anticipate having 8-10 projects per year, and trail maintenance teams to keep our projects looking good throughout the year.
We have already identified a few potential projects with the Parks Department including clearing and maintaining the Nature Trail outside of the Senior Center, clearing and maintaining the Nature Trail behind the Community Center, and creating a new nature trail in Bonnie Wenk Park. A long-term project, which has also been discussed, is to restore and preserve the large piece of property that has been donated to the city. This is the former Greens of McKinney Golf Course and is a beautiful tract of land alongside Wilson Creek on the southern edge of town.
Please register as a volunteer and we will be in touch.
