Rowlett Nature Preserve In the feedback gathered during the planning process, a nature preserve with an associated environmental facility and education opportunity were repeatedly desired by the community. Although Rowlett already has a nature preserve, the Muddy Creek Greenbelt, it does not appear to have adequate improvements, access, and programming to be recognized by residents as such. By master planning the area, changing the name, and adding some of the aforementioned features, it can begin to live up to its potential as a major destination and amenity within the community.
• Action: Connections to adjacent parks.
• Action: Design and market the Muddy Creek Greenbelt as the Rowlett Nature Preserve. • Action: Prepare and implement a master plan for the Rowlett Nature Preserve. • Action: Provide designated access points with wayfinding and on-site signage as applicable. • Action: Provide a complete looped trail system within the Rowlett Nature Preserve utilizing soft surface nature-type trails with trail amenities such as educational features, off-spots with water and restrooms, and seating. Special areas should contain elevated boardwalks for scenic views and natural interactions. • Action: Connect Chiesa Road location to Rowlett Nature Preserve.
