TrailsThe Parks & Recreation Department is continually working to make the City of Frisco a bicycle and pedestrian friendly community. The Hike and Bike Master Plan shows the potential development of a city-wide system of trails that will achieve the goal of making Frisco a leader in North Texas for providing residents with safe and efficient recreational and commuter hiking and biking trails.

Currently, there are approximately 56 miles of hike and bike trails throughout the City of Frisco. Our network of trails consists of “on” and “off” street trails along with greenbelt trails found within our city parks. The map that follows will help you locate these trails and view the proposed connection of these points in the future.

Share the RoadThe ‘Share the Road’ campaign is a joint project between the Parks & Recreation, Engineering and Public Works Departments. Bike route signs have been placed along designated streets to help guide cyclists through the city and also serve to raise awareness among motorists that cyclists may be on the road.
