Trophy Club residents will vote Tuesday on a $5 million bond package that would upgrade the town’s parks and recreation facilities.

"This bond proposal is directly based on a random survey of our residents done by an independent firm," said Adam Adams, director of Trophy Club’s Parks and Recreation Department. "The town’s mandated to develop new PID parks with a required aquatic amenity, and we want to meet the requests and needs of our residents."

If passed by voters Tuesday, the general obligation bonds would pay to complete public improvement district parks and for other specific needs, Adams said.
