Joya Dig Day

On Monday, June 26, at 10am, come witness the groundbreaking of Joya at Oran Good Park, a one-of-a-kind glow-in-the-dark park coming to Farmers Branch. This includes a ceremonial dig at the construction site, free swag and light refreshments.

Translated as Jewel in Spanish, Joya will be the crown jewel of playgrounds in Farmers Branch. The concept for Joya was developed using data collected from focus groups with the true “fun experts”—kids. Joya will be an accessible glow-in-the-dark playground that, while fun in the daytime, will come alive at night with interactive features that glow, allowing for day and evening play.

Joya will be located at the corner of Tom Field Road and Valley View Lane and is expected to open in fall 2023. The design and construction of the project are funded by grants from the State of Texas Parks & Wildlife and the Federal American Rescue Plan Act. Council members approved the concept in November 2021. Funding sources include $4,000,000 from the Federal American Rescue Plan Act and $750,000 from a Texas Parks and Wildlife matching grant. Construction will begin later this year.
