The City of Wylie began as a small Texas town 135 years ago, becoming one of the fastest growing communities in North Texas. Our current population of over 53,000 people reflects a growth of more than 250% since 2000. Known as the City Between the Lakes, Wylie offers its citizens recreation opportunities on and around Lake Lavon and Lake Ray Hubbard. Our parks system boasts more than 650 acres of parkland including ball fields, playgrounds, walking trails, open space and preserve. The Municipal Complex scheduled opened in early 2011 features a 44,000 sq. ft. Library, 47,000 sq. ft. Recreation Center, and 46,000 sq. ft. City Hall. Designed by nationally known firms Architexas and Holzman Moss Architecture, the complex features green building and energy saving initiatives. Many of the materials are native to Texas including Austin Stone and Mesquite in-grain flooring. Special consideration was taken to ensure that the unique, one-of-a-kind design compliments the beautiful landscape and takes full advantage of the open meadow, sloping topography, trees and creek. The Municipal Complex is the perfect location for future events, walking trails and public art displays. And with one of the largest back porches in Texas, it’s sure to be the community gathering place of choice for Wylie residents and visitors from across the Metroplex. We invite you to experience Wylie’s unique sense of home. Our selection of housing, growing retail options, historic downtown area, recreational opportunities make Wylie the perfect place to call home. Wake up…Work …And Weekend in Wylie.
