Snakes in City Parks

The natural areas in and around city parks, especially heavily wooded areas, host many types of wildlife including snakes. While snakes are a sign of a healthy environment, residents are encouraged to be cautious while enjoying the many well-maintained parks, trails or recreational facilities McKinney has to offer. If you cross paths with a snake, back away slowly and leave the area immediately.

Hike and Bike Trail Master Plan

The city’s parks and hike and bike trails are managed by the Parks & Recreation Department. The funding for the acquisition, design and construction of our parks and park facilities comes from a combination of developer contributions, grants, McKinney Development Corporation money and bond elections.
