Residents tell commissioners about the park’s historic value.
Myers Park and Event Center in McKinney was on the agenda of the Collin County Commissioners Court Tuesday, Feb. 23. The group of commissioners heard a presentation and entertained comments and discussion on any action regarding the park and event center currently owned by the county.
Paul Furr spoke in favor of the county’s continued support of the park and facilities saying it is essential to the history of Collin County.
“There have been thousands of young people come though the show barns, showing livestock,” Furr said. “It is very important that we continue to allow that to happen and continue to support the kids and adults.”
Another Myers Park supporter spoke up in agreement.
“I was born and raised here and I’ve been on the youth park ever since 1969,” he said. “My two kids went through it, my grandkids showed out there and I think it’s a great thing.”
Other voices heard in support of Myers Park were Terri Ricketts, past president of McKinney Chamber of Commerce, and the Myers park director Linda Dixon, who said the center has seen a recent increase in attendance.
