SUBURBAN NORTH

FRISCO

You may not believe that a mere 15 years ago, Frisco was farmland. Now it is a bustling microcosm exploding with growth. The fabled “$5 Billion Mile” along the Dallas North Tollway is creating an entertainment wonderland. Even the Dallas Cowboys are moving its training facilities to The Star on the mile, joining a host of sporting activities already at play in the city. The Dr Pepper Ballpark, featuring the Frisco RoughRiders baseball team, and Toyota Stadium, with soccer stars FC Dallas, are just two of many examples. And shopping is plentiful, including Stonebriar Centre Mall and the region’s only Ikea. Families thrive with activities at the Frisco Athletic Center with its new indoor water park, Frisco Commons with the town’s largest playground system, and Frisco Discovery Center for science.
