Parks and Community Gathering Spaces Rowlett has high quality parks and community gathering spaces, and the community is interested in expanding the city’s parkland. As the city continues to develop and grow, it will be imperative to reserve space through acquisition and requirements from private developments for additional parkland consistent with the strategies set forth in this Plan. The Rowlett Parks and Recreation Department manages and maintains approximately 807 acres of parkland, nature preserve, and City grounds. Developed facilities include the following:
• Herfurth Park • Isaac Scruggs Park • Katy Railroad Park
• Kenwood Heights Park • Lakes of Springfield Park • Lakeside Park • Paddle Point Park • Pecan Grove Park • Kids Kingdom • Wet Zone Waterpark • Rowlett Community Centre • Rowlett Community Park • Rowlett Nature Trail
• Scenic Point Park • Shorewood Park • Twin Star Park • Veterans Park
This chapter will focus on the parks and open spaces in Rowlett. Trails and Sidewalks and Recreation and Programming are discussed in, subsequent chapters in the Plan. A goal with policies and associated actions for Parks and Open Space are detailed below.
