FAQs My husband handled check in.

May I pick up my kids?

The person who drops the child off must come in to pick up the child. We release only to the person who checks them in.

I want to bring my grandkid and neighbor.

Is that ok?

Sure thing! As long as the child’s parent/legal guardian has signed the waiver and listed you as an Authorized Pick-up/Drop-off person. As for fees, you may choose either the Per Visit fee option or one of the Punch Card options.

May I buy a Punch Card or Rec Day Pass in the Childcare area?

Registrations, purchases, and financial transactions are conducted at the front desk. Any required fees for use of childcare are due prior to admittance at the front desk.

Can you feed my toddler or change my baby’s diaper?

Bring the kids fed and in a clean diaper or potty trained so you may maximize your workout time. For safety, food, drink, and gum are prohibited. Water in a spill-proof plastic cup is ok. We will come get you for your child’s diapering or toileting needs.

Who is staffed?

Childcare is supervised at a staff to child ratio of 1:6.

The maximum number of children permitted in Childcare at one time is 18. Staff may use discretion to lower that number based on the age and needs of participants.

WYLIE PARKS www.WylieTexas.gov/Parks

648 Acres of Parkland and Open Space In those parks, you’ll find 17.8 miles of trails, 19 playgrounds, and 11 pavilions available for reservation, soccer fields, baseball fields, football fields, a nine-hole disc golf course, a cricket pitch, and much more. Over the next few years, the Parks and Recreation Department plans to continue implementation of the 2012 Trails Master Plan, which will increase the miles of trail in Wylie to better connect you with your community.

PHEASANT CREEK PARK

1705 HARVEST CROSSING DRIVE Located in far southeast Wylie, Pheasant Creek Park provides a ribbon of green space for the Pheasant Creek Addition. In 2012, the City of Wylie received a grant from Collin County to begin developing the park. The city chose to concentrate on the northern edge of the park and began installing improvements in the spring of 2013. The park now boasts a playground, pavilion, and the first leg of a trail that may eventually connect to Rockwall County. Solar-powered lighting fixtures have been placed in the pavilion and along the trail to provide light after hours without requiring the consumption of fossil fuels.

RIVERWAY PARK 1200 RIVERWAY LANE

Riverway Park is located in the Sage Creek neighborhood of Wylie. The Park was named by students at Groves Elementary School. The park boasts a playground, shelter pavilion, picnic tables, and charcoal grills. The Parks and Recreation Department also maintains a concrete trail of approximately ½ kilometer in length leading south from the Park. Riverway Park is a popular destination for picnics and playdates.
