Project Overview
BPRD and Brooks Resources Corporation are working together to add around 35 acres of open space and a three-acre active recreation area to Discovery Park. New park areas will become open in phases as Brooks Resources develops residential properties.
The project includes a paved, multi-use trail connection between Discovery Park and Shevlin Park called the Outback Trail, as well as other trail connections to the new Discovery West neighborhood.
In 2020, an underpass was built on the Outback Trail that runs below Skyline Ranch Road. The underpass serves as a gateway to Discovery West from Discovery Park and features a mural by local artist Douglas Robertson honoring women explorers, pioneers, and others who have made important contributions to society.
In October 2023, BPRD acquired just over 18 acres of open space between the Skyline Ranch Road overpass to the new Stanhope Way.
