The Town of Prosper is thrilled to announce the grand opening of Lakewood Park on Tuesday, November 19. A ribbon cutting was held from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Lakewood Park is located at 621 S. Coit Road, and this 22.83-acre park offers a variety of new amenities for residents and visitors to enjoy. Lakewood Park marks an exciting milestone in developing Prosper’s recreational spaces, providing several firsts for the community, including the Town’s first cricket pitch and official pickleball courts. Park features include:
- Three fully lighted soccer fields for day and evening play
- Prosper’s first public cricket pitch which will share space with two of the soccer fields
- Lighted parking lot with 125 spaces for convenient access
- Four pickleball courts, marking Prosper’s inaugural public pickleball facilities
- Full-sized basketball court
- Restroom facility with a drinking fountain and bottle filler
- Expanded playground, now including equipment for ages 2–5 in addition to the existing 5–12 age range play area
The development of Lakewood Park has been a significant community endeavor. Prosper Area Soccer Organization (PASO) generously contributed $500,000 to fund the new restroom facility, highlighting its dedication to enhancing recreational resources in Prosper. Ratliff Hardscape, the general contractor responsible for the recently completed renovations at Pecan Grove Park, managed the construction of Lakewood Park, in partnership with Hines Real Estate Development, and completed the project ahead of schedule.
Funded through 2020 bond funds, Lakewood Community Park is part of a broader vision to expand outdoor recreational spaces. While the courts are open to the public, the sports fields require additional time for the turf to be established fully and will be open for play in Spring 2025. All members of the Prosper community and surrounding areas are invited to explore the new park features and celebrate Prosper’s growing recreational amenities.
