Resident asks council to consider nonresident, senior and half‑year fees for Pilot Knolls Park
Summary
A Highland Village-area resident urged council to adopt a lower or half-year fee option and senior accommodation for users of Pilot Knolls Park’s launch/facility fees, saying she regularly paddle-surfs and helps clean the park.
At the public‑comment portion of the April meeting, Jennifer Lane of Denton told the Highland Village City Council she uses Pilot Knolls Park for paddle‑surfing and would like the council to consider lower pricing options for people who visit frequently, a half‑year pass, or a senior accommodation.
Lane described herself as a regular user who also organizes cleanups at the park and said current nonresident pricing makes occasional trips less affordable. She asked council to consider a reduced rate, a half‑year pass, or a senior option for people who use the park frequently but are not city residents.
Council members and staff did not debate the item at length during the meeting; staff suggested Lane follow up by email so the request can be placed on a future agenda for consideration and added that walking into the park and using trails is free while launching paddle boards is more difficult without vehicle access near the launch.
