Last Saturday, the City Council held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Twin Rivers Park, located on the east side of Glenville Drive between Belt Line and Spring Valley roads. The new six-acre park offers a range of features, including a 1/3-mile walking trail, a pavilion, picnic tables, solar-powered lighting, native landscaping and several grassy areas on which to relax, throw a ball, etc.
A prominent amenity is the Bob and Lynn Townsend Bridge, which was dedicated by the Council during Saturday’s event. The late Bob Townsend served on the Richardson City Council for 14 years (as Mayor from 2011-2013), and several Townsend family members were in attendance.
Completed last month, Twin Rivers Park is part of the voter-approved 2021 Bond Program and becomes Richardson’s 42nd municipal park.
