Louis "Jake" Morgan Legacy Park
For many years, Cisco residents patroned the Farm & Ranch Store located at 107 E 5th Street to buy lumber and agriculture supplies. As the years passed and the business eventually closed, it now represents an era that brings fond memories for those that shopped at the store.

A Vision for the Future
In late 2022, the Cisco Development Corporation was invited by the family of Louis "Jake" Morgan, proprietor of Farm & Ranch Supply, to purchase the property and develop it as a public park. Since that time, efforts have been underway to design a concept that best fits the property.
A Multi-Use Family Facility
A local public-private partnership, including the Cisco Development Corporation, Cisco S.A.F.E., the City of Cisco and many volunteers, worked to develop a conceptual plan for the park. The following depiction outlines the results of that effort to best utilize the available space.
Area 1
This area of development features modular use with covered areas. The space can be used as vendor spaces for special events or covered shade for individuals or groups. The final design removed the walkway in between for a single structure.
Area 2
This area has a "splash pad" for all ages to enjoy and is positioned in the northern section of the development. The area is surrounded by three shaded canopies to provide additional shading during the summer months and provides seating around the pad for parents and patrons alike.
Area 3
This area features a play field with an artificial turf base, which can be used year-round, for a variety of purposes including youth and adult sports. Being an open space, it can also be used for any outdoor activity.
Area 4 & 5
This section features an area for "lawn games" in the northeast corner, specifically for the older age groups. A combination of traditional playground equipment and a padded hill provides a large play area to enjoy.
Area 6
Serving as the main entrance to the park, this area of brick pavers will provide a wide, open space for park patrons. Those interested in supporting the park financially can have a custom engraved brick with their donation. Purchase a brick for the park.
Area 7
As a compliment to Area 3, this section features a small amphitheater designed to provide a venue for live performances and public presentations. The building is shaded in gray with the tan colored area simply showing the portion of Area 3 that could be used for seating, if needed.
