Euless unveils park renovation priorities: shade structures, playgrounds and trail links
City of Euless staff gave an update on the parks master plan and recent capital work, reporting completed renovations and near‑term installations designed to improve accessibility and shade.

Parks and community services staff said Wilshire Park’s renovation is complete with a new playground, restroom, pavilion, parking and LED lighting; the park is about 5.5 acres with roughly 1.5 acres redeveloped near Kennett and Sierra. “We redid about an acre and a half of that,” staff said. The city restored access to the pond and finished ADA trails and other amenities.

Staff outlined a parks master planning process that included resident surveys, focus groups and public meetings. The preliminary master plan is scheduled for the parks board in February and potentially for City Council in March. Staff said the top citizen priorities included shade for playgrounds; the council has funded shade installations and the city is ordering structures for late spring installation.

Other completed projects highlighted included converted turf infields and LED lighting at the Texas Star baseball complex, new courts and lights at Midway Park, new playground replacements at multiple pocket parks and an extension of the Blessing Branch trail linking Midway to Fuller Weiser with dimmable trail lighting.

Staff acknowledged that recent park renovations required removal of some large trees due to grading and ADA access needs and said the city replaced landscaping and would continue tree planting where regulatory constraints (for example pipeline easements) allow. Officials said final landscaping will mature over the next year.

Residents were invited to review draft plan documents and expect council‑level adoption and a published master plan that will guide multi‑year budgeting and project sequencing.
