Grand Opening

Check out Frisco’s skate park remodel and new boulder garden during a grand opening on Tuesday, June 4 from 4:30-7:30pm. The event will feature a ribbon cutting, music, demos, food and more.

Skate Park

The skate park, located at the Frisco Adventure Park and designed by Evergreen Skateparks LLC, is now nearly three times the size of the old park with 28,000-square-feet of jumps, bumps, bowl pockets, transition areas and more.

Boulder Garden

A new climbing area for kids has been constructed next to the skate park. This boulder garden features three realistic looking boulders 8-10 feet high made from glass-fiber-reinforced concrete. Each boulder provides a different level of difficulty to suit children of different ages and abilities, and there are even rope connectors between boulders for the more adventurous.
More info on the skate park.

Parade Information

The 4th of July Parade is a great way to support the community and there is no entry fee. Register online for the 2019 Frisco Independence Day parade with the form below. Day of registration will begin on the July 4 at 11:00am in the parking lot on the west side of Town Hall, but we encourage you to register in advance.

WHO CAN BE PART OF THE PARADE?

Anyone who wants to decorate a float and be part of the fun. In 2019, Frisco wants to make the parade extra special and is requiring that anyone in the parade decorate whatever vehicle, bike, float… they enter.

WHEN IS THE PARADE AND WHERE DO WE LINE UP FOR THE START?

• The parade will begin promptly at 12:30pm.
• Participants should be lined up on Madison Avenue north of Main Street by 12:15pm (you may begin to line up as early as 10:15am on July 4).
• Insider hint – it is often easier to lineup by approaching from Creekside Drive as the parade does backup onto Creekside Drive pre-parade and Main Street and Madison Avenue are quite busy.

WHERE DO FLOATS CHECK IN?

Once you are lined up on the street, please check in at parade registration tent, located in the Town Hall parking lot at the corner of Main Street and Madison Avenue. This is where you will sign waivers and receive your parade numbers, which qualifies you for parade judging and prizes.

PARADE RULES

• The maximum height for any float in the parade is 14 ft.
• Spectator safety is major concern during the parade. As a parade participant you are required to use extreme caution when providing spectators with candy or giveaways from your float. You are required to hand, NOT throw, candy to spectators.
• In an effort to keep the Town of Frisco streets and sidewalks clean, no participant of the parade shall throw, cast or drop confetti, decorative items or articles of trash during the parade. Any violation of this could result in a $500 clean up fee.

PARADE PRIZES

For 2019, the Town of Frisco will be awarding trophies and cash prizes.

• Best Decorated Overall Float (1st $500, 2nd $300 and 3rd $200)
• Best Decorated Business Float (1st $300, 2nd $200 and 3rd $100)
• Best Decorated Non-Profit Float (1st $300, 2nd $200 and 3rd $100)

You will still be able to register on July 4th at the registration tent located on the west side of Town Hall between 10:30am and 12:00pm.

Kids are invited to fish the stocked pond at Meadow Creek Park (828 Meadow Drive, Frisco) from 8:00am – 10:00am on July 4th.

• Kids should bring their own fishing poles and bait, but there will be a very limited amount of loaner equipment available.

• Catch and release is strongly encouraged.
