The Arbor Hills Nature Preserve is unique because the park was designed as a 125-acre wildlife preserve in the midst of Urban Sprawl in Northern Texas. The preserve was designed to reflect the farming heritage of the surrounding area which is why the bathrooms, seen in the foreground, were built in the style of a grain silo. Behind Cedar Elms, Hackberry's and Bur Oaks in the background are the small and large pavilions. From the large pavilion, where the main trail extends north and west, visitors have a full view of the preserve.

In the heart of urban sprawl, marching north from Dallas to the Oklahoma border, rests a 125-acre refuge of wildflower meadows, wooded slopes, and sandy streambeds. Nestled among the gated subdivisions and new shopping malls of the North Dallas suburbs and just three minutes from the North Dallas Tollway, part of the property had been used as a dump site during the construction of neighboring tracts. Intuitively acquired in 1990 by the City of Plano as part of their parks and recreation master plan, the parcel is now completely surrounded by community development. Arbor Hills Nature Preserve invites visitors to rediscover nature in the heart of the suburbs and provides visitors with a glimpse of what the landscape of North Texas used to look like.

The City of Plano initially conceived the property to be developed into a typical, suburban recreation park, complete with ball fields and tennis courts. Upon initial site reconnaissance, however, the planning team discovered a site that could become more of an asset for the community and add a unique facility to the city's collection of parks. The property sits in the transition zone between the Blackland Prairie region and the Whiterock Escarpment, home to a variety in animal and plant habitat. An inventory of existing species revealed that a remnant "Blackland Prairie" plants were reclaiming the old farmstead and begging for attention. Site diversity also included the Indian Creek Tributary and over 80 feet of natural topography change. The opportunity presented itself for a park based on preservation and educational discovery. The end result: the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve.

The city embraced the suggestions of MESA Design Group to develop the Nature Preserve concept and contracted them to lead a team for master planning the park and completion of Phase I construction drawings. The grand opening of Phase I was appropriately marked by the ceremonial throwing of a "seed ball" (clay mixed with seeds which are gradually dispersed through rain) over the hillside overlook.
