Despite a blanket of snow draped over Frisco’s parks, many community members are still trying to make the most of the amenities, spreading out on the frozen lawns to let their dogs run or making their way to a pond to skate.
But the town is continuing to invest in park improvements in hopes of providing an even better experience this summer as the myriad residents and visitors again make their way outside to sprawl out in the grass and climb on the playgrounds. This year, Frisco’s focus is on Meadow Creek Park.

Breckenridge Town Council decided Tuesday, Jan. 26, that compostable bags would not be exempt from the plastic bag ban that goes into effect in September and debated what type of reusable bag the town should distribute.
Sustainability Coordinator Jessie Burley said a restaurant owner asked the town if compostable bags would be allowed once the ban takes effect. Burley said town staff does not recommend that council allow compostable bags to be exempt from the ban because of a lack of collection and compost abilities in Summit County.
