Development of Trails and Bikeways Master Plan

Trails and Bikeways Master Plan graphic

The Town of Flower Mound Parks and Recreation Department is in the process of developing a Trails and Bikeways Master Plan, which will serve as a roadmap to guide short and long-range priorities for the trails and bikeways network in Flower Mound over the next 10+ years. In developing the plan, resident input was requested to help shape the future of trails and bikeways in the community.

We want to hear your feedback on our draft recommendations for the Trails and Bikeways Master Plan! The master plan will ultimately identify and prioritize enhancements and expansions of the trail and bikeway system within the Town. Town staff and our consultants on this project have been collecting community input throughout 2021 through surveys and in-person and virtual meetings.

Several upcoming meetings regarding the approval of the Trails and Bikeway Master Plan are scheduled over the next several weeks.  


  • Parks Board Approval - Thursday, June 2 at 6:00 pm
  • Transportation Commission Approval - Tuesday, June 14 at 6:30 pm
  • Planning and Zoning Commission Approval - Monday, June 27 at 6:30 pm
  • Town Council Approval - Monday, July 18 at 6:00 pm

On Thursday, February 16, Town staff and our consultants, Halff and Associates, presented the draft recommendations for the master plan, which is reflective of the community input we’ve received so far. Residents had an opportunity to provide feedback on the recommendations. If you were unable to attend the Parks Board meeting on Thursday, February 16, you can watch the presentation here.

Tennis Center Feasibility Study

The Town of Flower Mound Parks and Recreation Department is currently developing a feasibility study for the potential construction and operation of a tennis center in Flower Mound. The study will provide data and information to analyze the market, to determine the size and amenities to be included in the tennis facility, project costs, partnership strategies, funding models, operating budgets, and economic impact for a future tennis center project.  


Staff and our consultant, MHS Planning and Design, will be presenting the final report of the Tennis Center Feasibility Study during a work session with Town Council on Thursday, April 21 at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall, 2121 Cross Timbers Road, Flower Mound, Texas.


As part of the Tennis Center Feasibility Study, a presentation was given on January 6, 2022 at a Parks Board regular meeting regarding the evaluation of four different park locations as potential locations for a tennis center. If you were unable to attend the Parks Board meeting on January 6, you can watch the presentation here.
