The Frisco, Texas-based Kaleidoscope Park Foundation is the steward of the most ambitious public-private park partnership in Collin County. Now, the public has an opportunity to be among the first to declare their support for the mission by becoming Friends of Kaleidoscope Park.

Through an annual contribution, donors have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the programming and experiences in Kaleidoscope Park, and to be recognized in a variety of ways for their partnership and support. Friends of Kaleidoscope Park opened for membership on Friday , April 5. Those interested can select their membership level at kaleidoscopepark.org/support/friends.

“We are hoping that Friends of Kaleidoscope Park is much more than just a donor organization,” said Laura Madden, Director of Development and Relationships at Kaleidoscope Park. “We want the people who will love and use the park to be key stakeholders in shaping its future destiny.”

 

Membership levels range from $100 up to the Director’s Circle, which is available at both $5,000 and $10,000. An additional Furry Friends Add-On allows donors to honor their beloved pet.

Kaleidoscope Park is scheduled to open later this summer, with a Grand Opening celebration, including a members-only event, slated for October 2024.

Kaleidoscope Park was made possible through a public-private partnership among Kaleidoscope Park Foundation, Communities Foundation of Texas and the City of Frisco. This partnership provides the synergies required to develop such a unique asset and destination. The Park is part of a larger development which includes The Monarch at HALL Park residences, HALL Park Hotel, The Tower at HALL Park office building and a new eatery.

The six-acre Kaleidoscope Park is located near the intersection of the Dallas North Tollway and Warren Parkway in Frisco, Texas, and in neighboring distance to The Star, Stonebriar Centre, Legacy West, The Shops at Legacy, The Boardwalk and Granite Park, and is destined to be a landmark enjoyed by all North Texas.
