Woodlake Lake (near the corner of N. Josey Lane and E. Peters Colony Road) will undergo site renovations thanks to Carrollton residents who voted in the 2018 Bond Election for Parks & Recreation Improvements. The approved $22.4 million-Parks & Recreation bond package includes approximately $2.5 million specifically marked to fund Woodlake Lake enhancements. The design focuses on adding elements that encourage the community to gather, pause during a run, and enjoy the outdoors. The project will include a pavilion with oversized steps leading to the lake, landscape trees and native plants, a food truck area with outdoor seating, an extension from the existing trail with surface pavement, the addition of an ADA-compliant kayak dock for loading and unloading, and potentially, an additional parking lot across the street.
After an intensive request for proposal process, MESA Design Group was selected to be the project designer in early 2021. Since that time, MESA’s team, the City’s Engineering and Parks & Recreation Departments, and the City Council have been working to create a composition plan that satisfies the bond package requirements, takes into account concerns and interest from the neighboring church and residents, and considers the desire by all to keep the area quiet and natural. After presentations to Carrollton City Council at meetings in March and June of 2022 and July 2023, the project will focus on the northeastern end of the lake. Mills Development and Construction – Dallas, LLC was awarded the contract in January. Work is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2025, weather permitting. cityofcarrollton.com/news
