INTRODUCTION
Southlake prides itself on its numerous parks and open spaces and its offering of recreation activities and
resources. Residents use the park and recreational services extensively for active and passive leisure pursuits.
As Southlake grows, these parks and recreation programs will continue to play a vital role in the lives of our
residents and visitors by providing areas for:
Le *.
• Active recreational pursuits
• Passive enjoyment
• Enhanced quality of life •
• Enhanced community image
4;
• Increased tourism i ; „!
Southlake's proximity to Grapevine Lake and _ —
abundance of mature trees provides a visual backdrop
that greatly adds to the overall aesthetic value of the
City. Open spaces provide habitat and protection for
threatened and endangered species, unique natural
and cultural resources and critical habitat linkages.
These open spaces also enable natural outdoor Bustin Park
experiences for residents in close proximity to where they live.
Parks contribute to this network of open spaces and enhance the quality of life for Southlake residents in
numerous ways. Green spaces, healthy trees and plant life soften the impact of development and add visual
enhancements to the City. Park facilities enable residents to be active and engaged in many recreation
activities and outdoor pursuits, from senior citizen fitness classes to youth
soccer. Recreation programs provide a focus for youth activities and
community facilities such as the Senior Activity Center and the recently
opened North Park. These locations serve as focal points for senior citizens
r and neighborhood activities, reinforcing cohesiveness in the community
and attracting neighborhood and City events.
Parks can also reflect how a community regards itself and they can be
objects of community pride. Distinctive signature parks such as
Bicentennial Park, Bob Jones Nature Center & Preserve, North Park and
ii ' Bob Jones Park give Southlake character and a sense of place in the region.
•
Parks can also define neighborhoods throughout the City and serve as
•.� # " , `' t buffer zones between new development and residential enclaves and
natural preserves. Parks, trails and open space areas add value to the
' "' °•� community. For example, parks and especially open space preserves can
add to the assessed value of adjacent and nearby properties by making
these areas more desirable places to live. Visitation and tourism to City
Stars & Stripes
events such as Stars & Stripes, Art in the Square and Oktoberfest
encourage people to visit and stay in Southlake. These visitors generate revenue by filling hotel rooms, dining
out and participating in other activities that support the local Southlake economy.
Ordinance No. 1060, Adopted March 19, 2013 [SOUTHLAKE 2030]
[ SOUTHLAKE 2030, Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan 2
Caring for and preserving these resources, as well as adapting to the changing recreation needs of the
community, is an essential component of Southlake's future health and sustainability. As the City changes and
develops, the community looks to maintain a balance between the developed environment and natural
environment where Southlake residents can relax and recreate. The recommendations, objectives and policies
in the Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities component of the Southlake 2030
comprehensive plan will focus on the enhancement and appropriate use of Southlake's parks, recreational &
community facilities and programs to meet the changing needs of Southlake's population.
PURPOSE AND RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan is a u
component of the Southlake 2030 Plan, the city's comprehensive plan. The
comprehensive plan is a reflection of the community's values and serves as
a blueprint for Southlake's future. More specifically, the comprehensive
plan establishes a framework to coordinate the city's activities and to guide J
the city's decision - making for the next 20 years. As such the
comprehensive plan and its components are updated on a regular basis.
i •
The last Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan was adopted in
September 2005. The city's park system has undergone significant growth O
and improvements since that time, so it is necessary to address those 2 4 11 3 O
changes with an update to the plan as a part of the Southlake 2030
Comprehensive Plan. The Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan is the primary
tool that will guide decision - making when addressing physical or programming use changes to the City's parks,
recreation facilities, open spaces and community facilities. Recommendations developed in the Parks,
Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan will also be incorporated into other plan
elements, such as the Mobility Master Plan and Sustainability Master Plan, as appropriate. In addition, the plan
will be utilized in setting priorities in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) planning process, updating
current park development priorities and creating new park priorities or programs as needed.
During initial staff discussions about the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan and meetings with the
Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan Committee it was determined that the significance of a
community recreation center within an existing park was great enough and a critical component of Parks,
Recreation & Open Space Master Plan that a Community Facilities Master Plan component should be
developed concurrently with the plan and as a result the Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community
Facilities Master Plan was created.
RELATIONSHIP TO SOUTHLAKE'S STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Strategic planning is an ongoing process where resources, critical concerns, community priorities and citizen
needs are combined to produce both a plan for the future and a measure for results. More specifically,
Southlake's Strategic Management System links the city's day -to -day activities to a comprehensive long -term
strategy for public policy and management decisions.
The Strategic Management System identifies Strategic Focus Areas and Objectives to guide effective and
efficient resource allocation and provides benchmarks to assess performance. The Strategic Focus Areas and
Ordinance No. 1060, Adopted March 19, 2013 [SOUTHLAKE 2030]

Objectives are driven by the City's Citizen Survey and are
outlined in the City's Strategy Map (please see Exhibit 1 on

SOUTHLAKE 2030 Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan 5
BACKGROUND
The citizens of Southlake, city staff, and the development community take long -range planning and consider it
to be one of the most intrinsic functions undertaken by elected and appointed officials in this municipality. The
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan has undergone some significant iterations in the past decade or
more, and like any good plan, it has evolved and become more relevant with each examination. In the History
section below is a brief outline of the significant plan adoptions and updates of the Parks, Recreation and Open
Space Master Plan. This is a long range (20 -year) planning document that is frequently updated to reflect
changing needs and priorities. The Community Services Department will make periodic reviews and make
minor revisions as needed.
The Southlake 2025 Plan was the city's first comprehensive master
plan that integrated all the City's master plans together. As a part of souTHLAKE
that comprehensive plan the Parks, Recreation and Open Master
Plan was an element of that plan that since then has contributed to
many improvements to the City's park system. This master plan laid
a foundation to the improvements done to the City's parks and even + L
eventually led to the creation of master plans for Bicentennial Park ` £ ;
and the Bob Jones Nature Center & Preserve. As the City's needs I 1 to. f y �1 t..
have changed due to population and demographic changes the `
City's park system will need to change as well. The Southlake 2030
Comprehensive Master Plan will address those changes and more Planning Today for a Better Tomorrow
specifically the Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community
Facilities Master Plan will address the changes to the park system.
HISTORY
The 1992 Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan was the City's first attempt to look at park and
recreation resources in a comprehensive manner. At that time, the city's population was around 8,000, and
the city owned 14 acres of park land, all in Bicentennial Park. The City's build -out population was projected to
be more than 48,000, one -third more than the current projection. The recommended park acreage was six to
ten acres per 1,000 residents, which would have yielded 289 to 483 acres at build -out. Schrickel, Rollins and
Associates, Inc. of Arlington prepared the plan.
The 1996 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan updated land and facility inventory, planning and
design criteria, plan recommendations and implementation sections of the original plan. The focus of the
update was "on the preservation, development or enhancement of attributes important to reflect the native
condition of the North Texas landscape that attracted residents to the community." By this time, Bicentennial
Park had been expanded to forty -one acres and two neighborhood parks, Koalaty (5 acres) and Lonesome
Dove (8 acres), had been acquired. Purchase of 131 acres of land for Bob Jones Park was contemplated. A park
and recreation citizen's survey was designed and administered by Glass & Associates. The park and open space
standard was raised to 21 acres per 1,000 residents, almost double the regional standard. The update was
prepared by the City of Southlake staff.
Ordinance No. 1060, Adopted March 19, 2013 [SOUTHLAKE 2030]
SOUTHLAKE 2030 Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan 6
The 2001 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan update reflected the most comprehensive analysis
of the Southlake park system and its potential for orderly development to date. The most important result to
emerge from this study was 100% compliance with Texas Parks & Wildlife Department (TPWD) standards for
parks master plans, which assured the maximum points available in that category would be available on any
TPWD- sponsored grant submittals. All subsequent plans will conform to TPWD guidelines at a minimum in the
future. This plan saw increases in the number of parks, park acreages, park inventories, comprehensive
mapping, individual park conceptual planning, and prioritization of projects.
:;. -° The 2005 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan
• ' {, was adopted and prepared as a part of this comprehensive
4. master plan and also met the guidelines for park and
recreation system master plans set forth by the TPWD.
_, TPWD provides a variety of matching grant programs, and
` approved plans enhance an applicant's chances of
_ !�` qualifying for matching grants for the implementation of
projects. This plan also included a new component that
would focus on promoting environmental sustainability
' "' and open space preservation within the park system. The
Environmental Resource Protection component of the plan
' addressed areas of concern such as floodplains, wetlands,
streams, trees, topography and view sheds, water quality,
Bob Jones Preserve Area Trail rural character, air quality and solid waste. This component
also led to the creation of the Environmental Resource Protection (ERP) Map.
The Southlake 2030 Comprehensive Master Plan will now update the current 2005 Parks, Recreation and Open
Space Master Plan. One of the most significant additions to this plan was the inclusion of the Community
Facilities element. As mentioned in the introduction, it was determined that the significance of a community
recreation center within an existing park was great enough and a critical component of the Parks, Recreation &
Open Space Master Plan that a Community Facilities Master Plan component should be included, and as a
result the Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan was created. In addition, the
Environmental Resource Protection component, which was included in the 2005 Parks, Recreation and Open
Space Master Plan, has been removed from this plan and will be integrated into a more thorough plan, the
Sustainability Master Plan.
In terms of the Community Facilities portion of this master plan, the architectural firm of Brinkley Sargent
Architects was selected to formulate the projected future space needs for all city departments. The firm was
also charged with the evaluation of existing city facilities and their potential adaptive reuse. The report
produced by Brinkley Sargent, The Comprehensive Facilities Master Plan, is the final product of an in -depth
study into the present and future needs of the various departments of The City of Southlake. Planning horizons
for this study were the years 2016 and 2026 with respective population projections of 33,500 and 36,000. The
components of this report, adopted in 2008, will be integrated into this Parks, Recreation & Open Space /
Community Facilities Master Plan and will constitute the Community Facilities section of this plan.

LOCATION, CHARACTER & RESOURCES
Southlake is located in North Central Texas, situated 23 miles -`1.. , : t' -- -- s . ..„, (_,
northeast of Fort Worth and 25 miles northwest of Dallas. Dallas A'` P,,� : '
Fort Worth International Airport is only a few short miles to the -1 if k "'r
southeast, and Lake Grapevine borders the city to the north. State '2 j W ^ ` ° ' " °
Highway 114 runs diagonally through the middle of the city, = . - ' '
heading east through Las Colinas and into downtown Dallas and "_ r e
west toward the Alliance Airport corridor. The topography is E. Sout:ake P ,,n.
comprised of mostly gently rolling, heavily treed hills and woodland d 4
areas, and the area in the north part of the city around the lake is '1.11.r - ..aa
comprised of some of the most prime native Cross Timbers habitat 9 g - ^ .. %` •
,, q �'
in the region. A ridgeline running just south of S.H. 114 divides the / t f " ;
main watersheds of the city south toward Bear Creek and north to
Kirkwood Branch of Denton Creek.
Southlake can also be characterized by its abundant natural resources in the Lake Grapevine vicinity and within
walking distance of many neighborhoods. The City has made a very strong commitment to both natural
resource protection and preservation of natural open space. The City of Southlake is also firmly committed to
protecting environmental assets in potential private development areas with both existing and proposed
ordinances that require developers to design with nature in mind. The enforcement of the city's Tree
Preservation Ordinance, widely recognized statewide as a model ordinance, has resulted in creative
development practices and the protection of existing resources. As such,
Southlake has been awarded the "Tree City USA" designation for fifteen
consecutive years by the National Arbor Day Foundation (NADF). NADF
( I I I awards the designation only to cities who have demonstrated exceptional
local regulations and instructional community outreach and volunteer
opportunities in the name of protecting trees and the environment. More
recently, the city was awarded with the Gold Certification of the Scenic City
• Certification Program. The Scenic City Certification Program is a project of
Scenzc C Scenic Texas. Scenic Texas has identified a direct correlation between the
CERTIFICATION PROGRAM success of a city's economic development efforts and the visual appearance
of its public spaces. In recognition of this link, Scenic Texas has developed
the Scenic City Certification Program to support and recognize municipalities, such as Southlake, that
implement high - quality scenic standards for public roadways and public spaces. The program recognizes Texas
cities which already have strong scenic standards and will provide an incentive to others to adopt and
implement the kind of stringent criteria that has been proven to enhance economic development, improve
quality of life and foster a sense of place.
DEMOGRAPHICS
Southlake experienced rapid population growth between 1990 and 2000 with a 205 percent increase in
population during that period, among the highest in Texas. With economic recession and less land available for
residential development, this trend slowed significantly between 2000 and 2010. As a result, the city has
developed more slowly in recent years and with less intensity than previously estimated. The ultimate build -
out population, estimated at 34,188, could be reached as late as 2050.

The 2010 census identifies 35 -44 and 45 -54 year olds as predominant age groups in the city of Southlake, while
nearly one -third of the population is less than 18 years old. Between 2000 and 2010, the City saw a decrease in
the population of children under 10, 25 -34 and 35 -44 year olds, and an increase in youth 15 -19, 45 -54 and 55-
64 year olds. Both the youth and the adult populations in Southlake are generally older than they were a
decade ago. This informs park planners that, while families are still the primary audience for park facilities,
improved amenities for teenaged youth and adult recreation may be needed. Looking toward the next 10 to 20
years, it is also possible that the number of adults over 65 may increase significantly, depending on patterns of
migration. Likewise, as new residential development slows, the number and percentage of young children in
the city may continue to decline. Facilities serving the interests of senior adults and passive recreational
activities such as wildlife observation, walking, hiking, and biking may become more popular. Southlake is also
slowly becoming more racially diverse, while the income distribution remains the same.

PARKS, RECREATION & OPEN SPACE
This Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan is evidence of the City of Southlake's long- standing
commitment to provide area residents with high quality park facilities and recreation programs. The City's
commitment has resulted in an outstanding system of much loved parks and well- attended programs that
serve to enrich the lives of the community. The focus of this section of the master plan is to provide direction
through the year 2030, ensuring that City parks and programs continue to meet the changing needs of the
community.
The City's parks, recreation programs and open spaces ''_
contribute significantly to the quality of life in
Southlake. With its high - quality park facilities, hiking
and riding trails adjacent to Grapevine Lake, and
comprehensive recreational programs, Southlake offers
many leisure activities and healthy lifestyle choices for
residents and visitors. Parks and community- serving
facilities enhance the quality of life for residents and are Nk. Yom-
an important component of complete and sustainable
neighborhoods. Accessible parks provide a place to play,`'
exercise, spend time with friends and neighbors, or to
just relax and recuperate. Trails serve an important
recreational function while also creating opportunities --- - -
for connections throughout the community. These Johnson Place Park Trail
walking, hiking, running, biking, and equestrian trails connect neighborhoods, parks, schools, places of
employment, and activity centers, and create mobility opportunities for residents of all ages. Recreational
programs provide opportunities for residents of all ages to participate in recreational, educational, and sports -
related classes and activities. Public health benefits accrue in neighborhoods that have access to parks,
community facilities, and trails. Access to recreational amenities leads to improved levels of physical activity
that have associated physical and mental health benefits on a community -wide basis. Such access also
increases opportunities for interaction among all members of the community, which can lead to stronger
community ties and an improved sense of connectedness.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
The goals and objectives within this plan are intended to guide all public and private decision making for the
development of the city's parks, recreation, and open space system. The Vision, Goals & Objectives of the
Southlake 2030 Comprehensive Master Plan define the values of the community and set both the framework
and the tone for the rest of the plan elements including the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan. The
vision, goals and objectives were developed by the Southlake 2030 Plan Vision, Goals and Objectives
Committee, using the Southlake 2025 Plan Vision, Goals and Objectives as a foundation. Goals and objectives
were added and modified to reflect changes in the community over the last four years and to address new plan
elements that are included in the scope of the Southlake 2030 Plan. The Goals & Objectives for Parks,
Recreation & Open Space served as the basis behind the recommendations developed for this plan and are as
follows:

other goals and objectives of the Vision, Goals & Objectives of the Southlake 2030. A complete version of the
Vision, Goals & Objectives component of the comprehensive master plan can be found in Appendix A of this
plan.
MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
The Southlake 2030 Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan Committee, which
included the Parks & Recreation Board as well as City Council members, oversaw the development of the
Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan. Altogether, the committee held 20 public
meetings between September 2011 and March 2013 to discuss, review, and develop park and community
facility recommendations for the 19 park areas and community facilities evaluated in Southlake (see Appendix
C: Southlake 2030: Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan Process Timeline).
Included in these 20 meetings were several design charrettes that were utilized in developing the concept
plans and recommendations for the parks within the City. All of these meetings were open to the public and
advertised on the city's website. In addition, the committee extended invitations to members of the
Ordinance No. 1060, Adopted March 19, 2013 [SOUTHLAKE 2030]
SOUTHLAKE 2030 Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan 15
community affiliated with special interests in specific leisure, recreational and sports acitivities. Once the plan
was complete, the committee forwarded the plan to the Parks & Recreation Board for consideration and
recommendation.
A Southlake Program for the Involvement of

and March 2013.
CREATION OF PARK RECOMMENDATIONS
Enhancing Southlake's existing park and recreation facilities, as well as creating new recreational
opportunities, will be carried out through the City's park recommendations. The recommendations for Parks,
Recreation & Open Space are listed in a later section of this plan. The City will continue to maintain its existing
recreation programs and facilities, as well as making those resources accessible to all Southlake residents.
Access to park facilities and connections between open space resources through pedestrian, bicycle and
equestrian trails are important to enhancing Southlake's recreational experiences.
These recommendations are based on the analysis of existing facilities and programs compared to the various
service objectives and standards defined by the City's Strategic Management System and the adopted
Southlake 2030: Vision, Goals Objectives, as well as input received from the Parks, Recreation & Open Space/
Community Facilities Master Plan Committee, City staff and Southlake residents.
Ordinance No. 1060, Adopted March 19, 2013 [SOUTHLAKE 2030]
SOUTHLAKE 2030 Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan 16
The recommendations address some key areas of interest in improving the City's parks consisting of the
following main topic areas:
• Improvements to Existing Parks
• Connectivity
• Open Space /Trails
• Aesthetics
• Field Functionality
PRIORITIZATION
After finishing the drafting of the parks recommendations, it was necessary to formulate a way to prioritize the
recommendations of the parks. The committee conducted a forced ranking exercise in which each park was
"packaged" together and ranked based on the level of importance as voted on by the committee. The results
of the force ranking activity are listed under Exhibit 3 along with the packaged recommendations that they
were grouped in. The recommendations that were not in the "package" by park were excluded from this
exercise due to no capital costs being associated with the recommendations. These recommendations could
be prioritized at the staff level and placed on city department business plans.

PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
A plan is only as good as the methods by which it is used as a tool for the ultimate goal: implementation. While
several substantial athletic facilities and aesthetic improvements remain, the city is on schedule (compared to
population size) and meeting the current needs with its previous and current implementation of the master
plan. Those demands that remain, along with several desired non - traditional venues and the ever - conscious
Ordinance No. 1060, Adopted March 19, 2013 [SOUTHLAKE 2030]
SOUTHLAKE 2030 Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan 17
need to obtain and /or preserve natural areas, make for some difficult decision making when placed in priority
order and weighed against available funding. The next section provides the strategy that was undertaken to
determine which recommendations and needs would be addressed earlier rather than later and is the
blueprint for plan implementation with the recommendations listing provided under the Park Plans and
Standards for Development section.
For each specific recommendation, a relative priority (Tier)
has been established to assist with the priority of
implementation of the recommendation. During the
development of this master plan the Parks, Recreation & 4 :*
Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan Committee
conducted a forced ranking activity which determined the .-
priority of the particular park and its recommended
improvements. The results of this activity allowed City
staff to assign the recommendations based on priority.
Tiers. The Tiers are divided into three different Tier
categories based on timeframe to implement:
• Tier 1: 1 to 3 Years
• Tier 2: 4 to 7 Years Chesapeake Park
• Tier 3: 8 Years and beyond
The CIP planning process begins and ends with projects recommended by this master plan. Annually, as part of
the City's budget process, city staff analyzes the adopted master plan and develops a comprehensive list of
projects and corresponding details along with preliminary cost estimates for each project to be included in the
proposed CIP. The proposed CIP is submitted to the CIP Technical Committee (department directors), who
rank them based on set criteria. The Parks & Recreation Board and the Southlake Parks Development
Corporation (SPDC) will review the proposed CIP and make a recommendation to the City Council who will
approve the CIP as part of the annual budget adoption. The priority list that was developed during this master
plan will help guide future members of the City's boards and City Council when making decisions related to the
CIP. While these tiers have provided the order of implementation and priority of which the park
recommendations were considered, it should be noted that all recommendations are subject to available
funding during the given budget year and will be placed on the Capital Improvements Program (CIP).
PARK CLASSIFICATIONS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
In order to provide the parks, recreation, and open space facilities needed by the City's residents, a set of
standards and criteria should be followed. In the Southlake 2025 Comprehensive Plan, parks were categorized
and classified based on park design concepts and standards identified by the National Recreation and Park
Association (NRPA - http: / /www.nrpa.org /). After further evaluating the demographics and specific needs of
the City and its residents it became evident that many parks exceeded or did not fit within these standard
categories. So for the purposes of addressing classification and functions of parks within the City, this master
plan will categorize parks on how they function specifically within Southlake.
Ordinance No. 1060, Adopted March 19, 2013 [SOUTHLAKE 2030]
SOUTHLAKE 2030 Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan 18
For this Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan, the following park categories are
being used:
• NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS
• COMMUNITY PARKS
• NATURAL AREAS and / or OPEN SPACE
Neighborhood Parks
The neighborhood park is to be one of the most important features of a park system because of its ability to
define the character of neighborhoods through its design. Its primary function is the provision of recreational
space for the neighborhood that surrounds it. When it is possible to combine an elementary school with this
type of park, the two features further enhance the identity of the neighborhood by providing a central location
for recreation and education, and by providing a significant open space feature within the neighborhood. A
neighborhood park would be preferably located near the center of the neighborhood, but also around the
periphery of the neighborhood or as a buffer between major roadways and the neighborhood is also
preferable. Safe and convenient pedestrian access (sidewalks or hike - and -bike trails) is important to a
neighborhood park location. Facilities normally provided at a neighborhood park may consist of the following:
• Playground structures
1 j • Open space for both active & passive uses
• Pavilion with picnic tables
• Park amenities such as drinking fountains, benches,
signage, grills, trash cans, trees and landscaping
' — • Hike /bike trails
i i Neighborhood parks are typically designed to serve a small
— population area. The most critical aspect of acquiring,
—_ sizing, locating, and constructing neighborhood parks is
-�. that the park is easily accessible from the surrounding
neighborhoods. Therefore, trail linkages and family -
Noble Oaks Park friendly amenities take priority.
Community Parks
A community park is a large and much more versatile type of park developed to serve the community. These
parks can be oriented to provide both active and passive recreational facilities for all ages. A community park
can serve several neighborhood areas and can typically be conveniently accessed by automobile. These parks
are diverse in nature and may include many different amenities including but not limited to the following:
• Athletic complexes /field space for • Park restroom facilities
baseball, football, lacrosse, soccer, and • Sports courts (such as tennis & basketball)
softball games and practices (lighted and • Playground structures
non - lighted) • Internal park road system & parking
• Areas for community events • Open space for both active & passive uses
• Pavilions /community gathering spaces • Hike /bike trails
with picnic tables • Nature trails and interpretative areas

JOINT USE FACILITIES / PARTNERSHIPS
The City of Southlake has a partnership with the Carroll Independent School District (CISD) that enables the use
of public park facilities by CISD and the use of school facilities such as auditoriums, cafeterias, gymnasiums,
and fields by the City for public parks and recreation programs. School facilities are built and maintained with
local tax dollars principally for the use of students and they are utilized extensively for the schools'
extracurricular activities and maintenance during non - school hours. However, at times when the buildings or
fields are not occupied for school - purposes, the community has been able to enjoy the use of these public
facilities. Likewise, park amenities are public investments which can be shared by local schools to make more
efficient use of public funds and reduce the need to build redundant facilities.
The City of Southlake should continue to consider future joint use partnerships with neighboring communities
such as Keller, Grapevine, Colleyville, Westlake, or Trophy Club, as appropriate to meet community needs.
When pursuing joint use opportunities it is important to discuss all considerations including, but not limited to
the following:
Maintenance: How can we ensure that joint use facilities are respected and maintained? Who is
responsible for maintenance, repairs and long -term capital improvements?
Operations: Who will unlock the gate? Who will run the programs? Who has priority?
Liability: What if someone gets hurt? Does the property have sufficient liability insurance to
cover any issues associated with joint use?
Ownership: How does joint use affect how decisions are made about the property? Are partners
involved in decisions made relative to the improvement, change, or sale of a joint
use property? How can the partnership be mutually beneficial?
Cost /Revenue: What costs might be associated with the joint use partnership? How much should
each partner contribute? How will revenues be split?
NEEDS ASSESSMENT
According to the 2011 Citizens Survey, over 90% of those surveyed considered
that providing sidewalks, trails and a variety of parks was either very
important or somewhat important. With this is mind, during the development 2011
of this master plan the views and recreation preferences of Southlake
residents played an important role in developing the direction of the plan and CITY OF SOUTHLAKE
the amenities needed within the parks and recreation system of the City. An CITIZEN SURVEY
effort was made during the review of the parks of the City to ensure there is RESULTS
connectivity between and within the park system in addition to connections
to adjacent neighborhoods and schools.
O
The parks and recreational facilities the City has to offer its residents should
generally be in accordance with the current needs of Southlake, as well as
with the anticipated or expected needs and demands that may arise in the
future. Anticipated needs can be forecasted based on standards and
development guidelines that are related to the population to be served and the trends in demand. With the
City being at a point in time where the population increase is not expected to increase substantially, it is critical
Ordinance No. 1060, Adopted March 19, 2013 [SOUTHLAKE 2030]
SOUTHLAKE 2030 Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan 22
that the City take into considerations the demands of the population. Expectation of needs is usually
determined through the analysis of material and data furnished by persons actively engaged in some type of
recreational activity, as such was the case in the development of this master plan. The following section below
describes the approach taken into accounting for and assessing the needs of the City.
Demand Based Needs
The demand based needs approach used to assist in assessing "'
the future needs relies on information and data from user group
sources, or other sources familiar with the desires for specific
types of facilities. The method generally used to attain input for r —
this phase of the needs assessment is to consider requests from tt„n t mc ..,■,
specific user groups separated by respective activities, surveys ii° ,: 7
and public meetings. These sources, in addition to the input and j ��
recommendations from the master plan committee formed the4
basis for which the needs were determined for the City. It is Enclave Park (Carillon)
important to note that the demands of the community may
change over time. For example, during the evaluation of the current conditions and inventory of the City's
parks, the use of playing fields was taken into account on how they can be managed as multi - purpose in order
to accommodate the changing needs and demands in the future.
In summary, the following three points must be strongly emphasized, as a result from discussions and
evaluation of the information provided during the committee meetings:
1. The City has acquired an adequate amount of park land as the City has developed and
only needs small parks or special purpose type parks, such as the Town Square Parks or
Carillon Parks, in Tess- serviced areas as they develop or re- develop.
2. The greatest needs in the City's park system are aesthetic improvements, build -out of
existing parks as recommended in this master plan and connectivity to off -site
locations.
3. While the city has an adequate amount of park land, further development of these
parks is necessary in order for them to be used to their maximum potential whether
that be for active, passive or natural uses.
Conclusions from the Needs Assessment
The overall Parks Inventory Evaluation (Needs Assessment) for the Southlake park system is shown under
Exhibit 5. As far as park acquisition is concerned, the city currently owns or leases adequate total acreage for a
build -out scenario. The community would be open to new opportunities for recreational uses, whether they
are active or passive, in order to accommodate and meet the demands of the City's residents.

changes to the individual park concept plans. Anyone

the plan document and necessary of careful consideration , -
when evaluating park improvements. It should be noted
however that these plans are guidelines, and are subject
to changing conditions and evolution. The actual

development of the park may differ from the concept
plans. Rustin & Family Parks (Town Square)
In addition to the individual park concept plans, recommendations have also been drafted to reflect the
considerations of the Parks, Recreation & Open Space /Community Facilities Master Plan Committee. The
recommendations are intended to be more descriptive and provide supplemental information of the intent of
the individual park concept plans of the City's parks and should be considered when looking at the graphic
illustrations of the concept plans developed by the committee.

Johnson Place Park was dedicated as a City park during the
development of Johnson Place Estates. This park, similarly to Haven
Park, primarily serves the residents within the development. There are
existing trails within the park and a few sitting areas. The park contains
the development's three retention ponds and serves primarily as a
walking /jogging and aesthetic amenity to the development and �
surrounding area. The primary focus of the committee was connectivity
from this park to adjacent properties and the future sidewalks along -
Randol Mill Road when F.M. 1938 is extended and widened along the
east side of the park.

PARK STANDARDS
Monument Signs
Monument signs in City parks should consist of masonry material and generally follow the City's Urban Design
Plan unless there is a general theme of architecture or materials within the park that should be
complimentary. The design objectives for monument signs are as follows:
➢ Versatile
• Multiple configurations
• Various stone or brick options to match park appearance or theme
➢ Timeless & classic design to symbolize a Southlake park
➢ Standardization of design to eliminate recurring design & engineering costs
➢ Maximum visibility of park name with lighting

Park Amenities
The City has informally adopted some level of standards when doing amenity improvements to the City's
parks. With this master plan, the City will have formalized guidelines as to what level of quality the amenities
should contain. A majority of the improvements consisting of benches, picnic tables, trash bins and drinking
fountains have been installed with a black coating or finish. This trend should continue throughout all the City's
parks, and the standards provided below indicate the minimum level of quality to be provided whenever
amenity improvements are considered.

There are also some higher quality amenities that have been installed at various City parks such as Bicentennial
Park, North Park and throughout the Town Square Parks. This level of quality should be aimed for, but should
only be implemented if funding permits and if the use and character of the park calls for it. The Victor Stanley
and Dumor designs are examples of these higher quality park amenities.

COMMUNITY FACILITIES
The Community Facilities Master Plan was developed as a result of the update to the City's comprehensive
plan, Southlake 2030. This particular component of the comprehensive plan is developed to address optimum
and efficient responses of City services brought on by growth. The City of Southlake recognizes the need for
proactive, futuristic planning to ensure the level of services will be maintained as it grows in population. The
Community Facilities Master Plan is an essential part of the City's effort to keep pace with this growth and
maintain a high level of service delivery. It is intended to establish a process for coordinated development and
use of city facilities. The Community Facilities Master Plan provides a guide for both long -term and near -term
needs and demands of the community.
Brief History of Southlake
One of the City's first establishments was the Lonesome Dove Baptist Church that was organized in 1846 and
built on land donated by church members, although it burned in 1863. In 1866, the first land within present
day Southlake was homesteaded. It was located on what is now Dove Road and consisted of 360 acres. Settlers
from Dade County, Georgia founded White's Chapel
Church, located at Southlake Boulevard and White
Chapel Boulevard, in 1871. The first superintendent of
schools was appointed in 1872, making Lonesome
Dove one of the first public schools in Tarrant County, � _,_ �' — ,�
which was organized in 1849. Three local schools that = I ( L
included Lonesome Dove, White's Chapel, and Sam's
Schoolhouse, consolidated to form the Carroll School
District in 1919. This district was named after Tarrant '
County Superintendent B.H. Carroll. The first school
building in the District was built in 1919, and is located _`
on North Carroll Avenue next to Carroll Intermediate r ,
School. By 1890, Old Union boasted a school, a lodge,
two churches, and a lop -up -n- hitch. The community's
name came from the Old Union Primitive Baptist Southlake Town Hall
Church that met in the school building room from 1903 to 1910. In 1957, students adopted the Carroll Dragons
as their school mascot. Old Union Community existed in the late 1800s and early 1900s in the present day
location of State Highway 26 and Brumlow Avenue. Jellico Community was located at the present day
intersection of Southlake Boulevard and Davis Boulevard. Robert Emmett Wilson, who came to the area during
the 1880s and built a general store, founded Jellico. Jellico's post office was established in 1898. Jellico,
Tennessee was the prior home of many of its residents. The declining commercial importance of Jellico
beginning in 1907 led to the eventual end of the entire town.
The town of Southlake incorporated on September 25, 1956 and consisted of 1.62 square miles of land. It
officially became the city of Southlake on December 7, 1965. On April 4, 1987, Southlake citizens adopted a
home -rule charter creating the current council- manager form of government.
Ordinance No. 1060, Adopted March 19, 2013 [SOUTHLAKE 2030]
SOUTHLAKE 2030 Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan 88
Southlake Today
The City of Southlake now consists of approximately 22 square miles of land and has just over 27,000
residents. Throughout this time the City has grown and become a premier community in the Dallas -Fort Worth
metropolitan area. The City's dedication to quality development, sound fiscal policies and effective strategic
management has made it an exemplary community. These attributes have led to the development of several
high quality facilities within the City such as Town Hall, Department of Public Safety (DPS) Headquarters and
more recently, the DPS North facility currently under construction. In order to continue this level of quality and
development it is important to have a plan in place in order to guide the City and meet the needs and demands
of its residents.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
The goals and objectives within this master plan are intended to guide the City as it pertains to the City's
Community Facilities. The Vision, Goals & Objectives of the Southlake 2030 Comprehensive Master Plan
developed and defined the values of the community and set both the framework and the tone for the rest of
the plan elements including the Community Facilities Master Plan. The vision, goals and objectives were
developed by the Southlake 2030 Plan Vision, Goals and Objectives Committee, using the Southlake 2025 Plan
Vision, Goals and Objectives as a foundation. Goals and objectives were added and modified to reflect changes
in the community since the last comprehensive plan update and to address new plan elements that are
included in the scope of the Southlake 2030 Plan. The Goals & Objectives for Community Facilities serve as the
basis behind the recommendations developed for this componenet of the plan and are as follows:
Goal 8: Community Facilities
Plan and provide quality community facilities and services that effectively meet the service needs of
Southlake's residents and businesses.
Objective 8.1 Provide a level of community facilities that meet the needs of both the existing and
projected population.
Objective 8.2 Encourage cooperation with the school districts in planning for and financing
community facilities to encourage the cost - effective provision of resources.
Objective 8.3 Systematically evaluate City -owned buildings in terms of their quality of service
delivery and prioritize maintenance and renovation accordingly.
Objective 8.4 Incorporate new computer and telecommunications technologies into public buildings
and designated areas in order to improve time and cost efficiency of service delivery
and to meet increasing demands of information access and sharing.
The full version of the Vision, Goals & Objectives component of the comprehensive master plan can be found
in Appendix A of this plan.
This Community Facilties Master Plan is also taking into account the objectives from the Facilities Master Plan
report that was done by the consultants Brinkley Sargent Architects. This report outlined the following goals
during its process:
• Analyze Departments and Determine Space • Two Planning Horizons (2016 and 2026)

MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
The development of this component of the master ,r
plan is based on data gathered within the facilities ' _ ` , .-.- --
master plan report conducted by Brinkley Sargent
Architects in 2008 and by City staff from each
department. This information includes current and ; : -----
future population, staffing, staff ratios, organizational -
charts, and department and public parking
requirements. After reviewing the preliminary data, tri
on -site meetings were held with representatives from '
each of the departments studied. Interactive on- 4 :' -- �'
screen projections were used to do live updates
during most meetings. Each participant was i
encouraged to think about the long -term goals and -
needs of their departments. These numbers (future '
population, staffing, staff ratios, organizational Department of Public Safety Headquarters
charts, and department and public parking requirements) were then compared to cities of similar demographic
composition. Adjustments were made as required and reviewed with key departmental staff members. From
these discussions and comparisons, a report identifying staff and square footage requirements for each
department were developed for the years 2016 and 2026 based on population estimates. Since population
estimates can differ from sources a variety of sources were used to obtain the best estimate for the purposes
of that plan.

The strategies implemented in the Brinkley Sargent report were driven by a strong central concept of planning
addressing several issues commonly encountered in the planning field. Those issues were addressed in that
report with the following strategies:
Ordinance No. 1060, Adopted March 19, 2013 [SOUTHLAKE 2030]
SOUTHLAKE 2030 Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan 90
Location of Current Facilities and Existing Land
The City's facilities are spread across the city, with Town Hall located near the center of town, the Service
Center (Public Works Operations) in the extreme south and Public Safety facilities located for appropriate
service coverage on the east (DPS Headquarters) and west (DPS West) sides of town and soon to be on the
north (DPS North) side.
Philosophies of Citizen Services
The City of Southlake places a high premium on service to its citizens, visitors, and business community.
Because of this, the strategy was one of planning "user friendly facilities" that will meet the needs of staff and
visitors. Specific results of this philosophy included renovating Town Hall to bring Development Services
together on one floor, expanding the Service Center to accommodate multiple department needs, combining
key quality of life facilities on one site to benefit a wide range of ages and interests in the community, and
renovating existing facilities to maximize their utilization for the City. With this master plan however, further
analysis was considered by the committee and it was determined that the expansion of the Service Center may
not be a feasible solution, thus providing further study on this issue as a recommendation.
Maintaining Efficient Work Environments
This factor addressed the requirements to consider how the movement of departments from one area to
another can be done with minimal disruption to city services. Some refer to this as "the domino effect ". In
developing the report, the consultants applied this principle to every strategy to ensure minimal effect to
departments. This did, in some cases, influence the timing of events over the priorities that had already been
developed.
Process and Public Involvement
As mentioned in the Parks, Recreation & Open Space portion of this master plan, a significant result from
evaualting the City's parks was the need for a community multi - puprose recreation center during the review of
Bicentennial Park. This lead into the integration of both master plans into one and therefore the Parks,
Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan Committee oversaw the development of both
master plans. Once the plan was complete, the committee forwarded the plan to Parks & Recreation Board for
consideration and recommendation.
A Southlake Program for the Involvement of Neighborhoods (SPIN) meeting was also held for the plan to solicit
public input. The SPIN forum fosters open and timely communication between the citizens and city
government regarding programs and issues affecting the quality of life in the community in order to provide
positive relations and a stronger sense of community. A public hearing was held by both the Planning and
Zoning Commission and the City Council before final approval.
Ordinance No. 1060, Adopted March 19, 2013 [SOUTHLAKE 20301
SOUTHLAKE 2030 Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan 91
In summary, the approval process for Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan was
as follows:
1. Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan Committee meetings
2. SPIN meeting
3. Parks & Recreation Board public hearing
4. Planning & Zoning Commission public hearing
5. City Council 1st reading
6. City Council 2nd reading and public hearing (final plan approval)
In addition, both the Planning & Zoning Commission and the City Council held public hearings for the Parks,
Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan prior to adoption by Ordinance No. 1060 in
February and March of 2013.
COMMUNITY FACILITY INVENTORY
The City of Southlake has facilities located at various locations throughout the City. Three of these facilities are
dedicated to the City's Department of Public Safety. When Brinkley Sargent conducted their study for the City,
these facilities were excluded mainly because the type of study they were conducting was not intended to
address police and fire coverage requirements or needs of the City. However, with the current construction of
the DPS North facility, there will be sufficient public safety coverage through the entire City, including the
projected population build out of the City. For the purposes of this master plan, the facilities that were taken
into account were as follows:
Town Hall
Town Hall was completed in 2001 as part of the - i
development of Southlake Town Square. The 4 -story \
building contains the majority of the City's _ _
departments and serves as the administration center , -- T
for the City. The City departments within the facility
consist of Community Services, Planning & -
Development Services, Finance, Utility Billing, Public = _. _
Works Administration, Facilities Services, Council
Offices and Chamber, City Secretary's Office, City "'
Manager's Office, Human Resources, Economic
Development, the Public Library and includes several ° '-
Tarrant County offices.
Service Center
Service Center (Public Works Operations)
The Service Center was acquired by the City in 1996 and is located on the north side of Continental Boulevard
between Kimball Avenue and South Carroll Avenue. It currently contains all of the Public Works Departments'
operational service divisions consisting of Drainage, Streets, Water and Wastewater. Residential development
has occurred all around the facility and the centers long term use at its current location may not be feasible.
Ordinance No. 1060, Adopted March 19, 2013 [ SOUTHLAKE 2030]
SOUTHLAKE 2030 Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan 92
Senior Activity Center
The Senior Activity Center is located at the site where a formal municipal complex had been planned for in the
City's earlier master plans along the south side of Southlake Boulevard (F.M. 1709) between Byron Nelson
Parkway and Parkwood Drive. The facility is currently 4,200 square feet and is heavily used for many activities.
The Senior Activity Center is a former residential structure that has had an addition and converted for its
current use.
With the three facilities just mentioned and the three public safety facilities, the City operates six facilities. This
Community Facilities component of this master plan is intended to address those needs and demands that
otherwise may not have been addressed within the Brinkley Sargent report and provide guidance and direction
to City staff and future elected and appointed officials.
Bob Jones Nature Center
The Bob Jones Nature Center & Preserve is located at 355 E. Bob Jones Road on the north end of the City
adjacent to Grapevine Lake. The Center is an approximately 4,000 square foot building on 758 acres of U.S.
Army Corp of Engineers and City Property. The Bob Jones Nature Center & Preserve is owned by the City of
Southlake and managed by the Bob Jones Nature Center Organization whose mission is the preservation of
local natural resources and history; accomplished by providing places of compatible recreation, and fostering
education about our natural environment.
Southlake Tennis Center (at Bicentennial Park)
The Southlake Tennis Center is an approximately 2,500 square foot building and also consists of 19 tennis
courts, office space, pro shop, and ample parking for tennis center and park patrons. The center is owned by
the City of Southlake managed under a contractor whose goal is to operate a first class facility that provides
top quality tennis programs and excellent customer service.
COMMUNITY FACILITY NEEDS AND DEMANDS
According to the Brinkley Sargent report facilities for a city can be categorized as either "Staff /Population"
driven or "Quality of Life" driven. Staff or Population driven facilities include such departments as Courts, City
Manager, Public Safety, Fire and Public Works. These departments provide for the core needs of the
community and can be directly compared to what other cities of similar population and demographics may be
providing.
The "Quality of Life" driven facilities can be compared to state and national recommendations for facilities as
well as comparable facilities within the area. Facilities falling into this category may include; Parks and
Recreation Centers, Parks, Libraries, Cultural Arts, and Senior Centers. The amount and size of these facilities is
dependent upon the expectations of the citizens and on how the City chooses to respond to those
expectations. They are not critical to the level of service to the community but do add to the "quality of life"
for the citizens. In this master plan, those "quality of life" facilities are intended to be addressed by providing
recommendations as provided at the end of this section under Community Facilities Recommendations /Policy
Matrix.
Ordinance No. 1060, Adopted March 19, 2013 [SOUTHLAKE 2030]
SOUTHLAKE 2030 Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan 93
The needs assessed for the purposes of this plan addressed the internal configuration of Town Hall as it
pertained to location of City departments and uses of spaces. Brinkley Sargent developed from their analysis
the following action items (recommendations) for Town Hall:
• Move Municipal Court and Teen Court to • Move Human Resources to vacated
DPS headquarters (completed) Planning area on 3 Floor
• Utility Billing to serve as reception point • Place Copy Area with Utility Billing
• Relocate the Library (Approx. 30,000 • Possible relocation of Break; locate
square foot facility) Library Reading Room in current Break
• Place Development Services on 1 Floor area space
• Move Economic Development to 2 level • Expand Training — add dedicated
computer training
Since these action items were based on a report conducted five years ago, some circumstances have changed
and will continue to do so. The need to address these demands and current needs of the City will change when
this component of the master plan is updated.
COMMUNITY FACILITY RECOMMENDATIONS
During the process of this master plan a few items relating to community facilities were discussed and deemed
important enough to include them as a part of the plan. These items eventually led to the consolidated Parks,
Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan. The areas of focus during these disucssions
were:
• The need for a community recreation center with a senior center area programmed within the facility
• An expanded or new facility for the Senior Center
• The long term feasibility of the Service Center at its current location
• The location and size of the City library due to changing demands and innovation in technology
• Implementation of the Bob Jones Nature Center & Preserve Master Plan recommendation to construct
a new nature center facility
During the process it was determined that in order to address some of the facilities, additional analysis of
these facilities with more information would be needed, such as the Service Center and Library location. Based
on the recommendations of the Brinkley Sargent report, and the public meetings held with the committee,
SPIN, Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council, the recommendations that were produced from this
master plan process are located on the following page and address the items noted above.
