Progress and Timeline
Celina officials adopted the Wilson Creek Park Master Plan in 2023, and since then, the project has been moving forward. During a City Council meeting last May, members reviewed new renderings and discussed the next steps for the park. Here’s what’s coming up:

The park will be surrounded by future development, including a new Celina ISD elementary school, a fire station, and multiple residential neighborhoods. Its central location and impressive lineup of amenities will make it a key gathering place for the Celina community.
A Major Perk for Mustang Lakes Homeowners
For homeowners of Mustang Lakes, Wilson Creek Park will be an incredible addition just minutes away. While Mustang Lakes already offers top-tier amenities, including scenic trails, lakes, and resort-style pools, having a city park of this scale nearby will only enhance the outdoor lifestyle available in the area.
