We have an opportunity to help our community! Read more from the McKinney Parks Foundation & sign up to work on Saturday!

We’re heartbroken to share that the East McKinney Learning Garden, a space dedicated to teaching sustainable gardening and addressing food insecurity in our community, was vandalized last night. Bricks were scattered, all our wheelbarrows broken, and young seedlings ripped from their beds.

Our garden is built on resilience, and we know this community stands strong together. Join us for our next Garden Workday, Saturday, March 8th, at 8 AM to help rebuild, replant, and keep growing.

Due to a major windstorm knocking out power to downtown McKinney, we will be unable to host our Fat Tuesday Pancake Dinner. We are so disappointed, but we hope you have some delicious pancakes at home!
