Titan does seismic testing near Denton park

The site is east of South Lakes Park and the Southridge neighborhood. The company has contacted mineral owners in the area and is still pursuing some leases, Schumacher said.

Although Titan secured city permits to test the ground at South Lakes Park, city officials “certainly have no intention” of allowing a gas well at the park, said Emerson Vorel, Denton’s parks and recreation director. The city has allowed off-site gas drilling under parkland, but there are no active agreements involving South Lakes Park, city officials said.

"certainly have no intention" of allowing a gas well at the park? Yeah right, they are seismic testing just for the fun of it!
