First ‘Glow-In-The-Dark’ Park, In The U.S., Will Be Built In Farmers Branch

The Joya at Oran Good Park, is a new, uniquely built park, in Farmers Branch, Texas. It is the nation’s first outdoor glow-in-the-dark park.

The playground will have interactive glowing components that will make it possible for children to play during the day and in the evening. The playground was named Joya which is the Spanish word for jewel.

It will be located at the intersection of Tom Field Road and Valley View Lane. It will be 18-thousand feet long and will have six various play areas. Zip-ling, a spin zone, swings, an obstacle course, and a 27-foot sphere will be found at the park, surrounded with LED lights, as well.

In 2021, Farmers Branch first approved the building of the park, utilizing $4,000,000 from the Federal American Rescue Plan Act and $750,000 from a grant through Texas Parks and Wildlife.

The park is set to open later this year and will be free to use.
