McCord Park

McCord Park is Little Elm’s third major community park and the first on the east side of town. Located along the Cottonwood Creek floodplain on FM 423, McCord Park is a wooded 38-acre park with gentle slopes, a creek, heavy tree cover, a fishing pond, and acres of open space.

Amenities in the public park include over a mile of hike and bike trail, an 18-hole disc golf course designed by John Houck, a world-renowned disc golf course designer, a fishing dock, pedestrian bridges, picnic areas, a splash pad, a dog park, and two playgrounds.

History & Development

Through creative planning and zoning, McCord Park was donated to the Town and constructed by the developers (Western Rim) of the luxury multi-family projects adjacent to it. The total value of the land and park improvements is estimated to be over 5 million dollars, all of which was paid for by the developer.

Vital to the Town’s master Hike & Bike trail plan, McCord Park provides an invaluable link from FM 423 to Veteran’s Memorial Bridge on Witt Road and westward along Lewisville Lake to The Lakefront District™. It also offers a critical connection point into Frisco’s trail system, which is part of a regional master trail system, one day ensuring that Little Elm residents could continually recreate to Dallas via trail without interruption.
