Myers Park

Myers Park is a 158-acre recreational area located in northern McKinney, Texas. Originally established in 1969 as the Collin County Youth Park, it was created from land donated by John and Winnie Myers. The park has since expanded to offer a variety of facilities and natural spaces for public use and events.

The park features a diverse landscape, including rolling hills, a lake, open spaces, and a rustic wooded area. This mix of terrains provides visitors with opportunities for various outdoor activities and experiences. The park's natural beauty is enhanced by award-winning gardens maintained by the Collin County Master Gardeners, showcasing a range of plant species and landscaping techniques.

Myers Park serves as both a community gathering space and an educational resource. It houses the Collin County Farm Museum, which offers insights into the area's agricultural heritage. The park also partners with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and the Collin County Master Gardeners, supporting research and educational initiatives in horticulture and agriculture.

The park's facilities cater to a wide range of events and activities. It includes indoor and outdoor event spaces, making it suitable for both public and private functions. The Show Barn, a large multipurpose building, can accommodate various types of shows and expositions. For outdoor events, the park offers spaces like the Pole Barn and a lakeside gazebo, which are popular for weddings and other celebrations.
