One of the guiding goals in the City’s Strategic Plan is to provide attractive, unique and connected spaces for community interaction. Based on this goal and under the direction of City Council, the Parks and Recreation department has developed a plan to bring a true one-of-a-kind signature playground to Farmers Branch- Joya.

Translated as Jewel in Spanish, Joya will be the crown jewel of playgrounds in Farmers Branch. Using data collected from focus groups with the true “fun experts” – kids, the concept for Joya was developed. Joya will be an-accessible glow-in-the-dark playground that, while fun in the daytime, will come alive at night with interactive features that glow, allowing for day and evening play.

Joya will be located at the corner of Tom Field Road and Valley View Lane. Construction is expected to begin in summer 2023, with an opening date in the fall of 2023. The design and construction of the project are funded by grants from the State of Texas Parks & Wildlife and the Federal American Rescue Plan Act.

Council members approved the concept in November 2021. Funding sources include $4,000,000 from the Federal American Rescue Plan Act and $750,000 from a Texas Parks and Wildlife matching grant. Construction will begin later this year.
