Discover Downtown Wylie, Texas
Historic downtown, the heart and soul of Wide Awake Wylie.
Wylie is one of the fastest growing cities in Texas. The place to be seen, sitting on a park bench outside one of the century old buildings, enjoying a cool drink and a snack, or walking through Olde City Park. With activities planned on Ballard St, you'll have plenty of opportunity to see your friends and neighbors. Families with children can enjoy play time in the park. Older children and teens can spend time at any number of the local church's rec activities. Take care of your chores with dozens of service companies here, and when you are through, stay for some of the best local food around.
The Wylie Downtown Merchants Association celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2011
