The Dallas County Parks and Open Space Program is currently developing a new Master Plan for the 21 preserves throughout the county, and a series of public meetings began this week to collect public feedback on the draft plan recommendations. The Dallas County Open Space Plan will help guide enhancements and improvements to the county preserves over the next 10 years.   

The meeting closest to Richardson will be held next Wednesday, April 10, in Garland, from 6:30-8 p.m. at the Audubon Recreation Center, 342 W. Oates Rd.
