This plan update represents many months of between elected and appointed officials, and other community stakeholders. In February of 2018, the City adopted an amendment to the 2030 Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan. While not a complete update to the existing plan, it did include several deletions, revisions, and additions of recommendations across a few specific parks. Given the recency of this amendment, a number of those recommendations will be carried over in the Southlake 2035 Master Plan. Besides the amendment in 2018, the latest holistic update to the Plan took place in March of 2013. City Council appointed the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan Committee to oversee the development of this master plan update. In addition, staff held meetings with the Southlake Kids Interested in Leadership (SKIL), the Southlake Youth Action Commission (SYAC), and the Senior Advisory Commission (SAC). City staff also met with the Carroll ISD School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) to provide them with an update on the plan development process. A key change was made during the development of the 2035 Plan update. Given the breadth of City parks and facilities, staff decided to separate the Parks, Recreation & Open Space element from the Community Facilities element. The Community Facilities Master Plan will be a distinct comprehensive plan element moving forward. This decision gave staff and all stakeholders greater capacity to focus on the parks, recreation & open space piece, and will do the same for community facilities. Part of the reason for this determination was that since the last major update to the comprehensive plan, the City has added new facilities to its portfolio, perhaps most importantly being The Marq Southlake and the DPS North Training Facility. Additionally, because with the senior center moved from its previous location at 307 Parkwood Dr. to The Marq Southlake (Legends Hall), there is now space at that facility for City programming. Another adjustment to the preparation of this comprehensive plan update worth noting is the very way the recommendations within the ensuing plan were prioritized for implementation. As will be further discussed in a later section, rather than force -ranking each park in the Southlake system as had been done in previous master plan updates, the Committee only ranked those where capital requests would be required. Specific amenities were identified for each park; however, this does not mean that specific park was included in the forced -ranking activity. Staff and the Committee felt it was important to document specific desired amenities within each park, however some of the smaller items can be implemented in an annual work plan with SPDC funds. That said, the identified amenities will help guide staff operational budgets moving forward be delineating what items (such as water bottle refill stations) are needed and where. Because the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan followed other adopted Southlake 2035 Comprehensive Plan elements, there were numerous existing policy recommendations to sort through with a direct tie back to the City's parks and open spaces. For example, staff pulled comments extensively from the Youth Master Plan and the Health & Wellness Master Plan, given the attention those documents devoted to physical health, the built environment, and the natural environment. Further staff combed through recommendations from the Public Arts Master Plan, the Consolidated Future Land Use Plan, and previous Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities documents. Carefully analyzing and contemplation these existing adopted recommendations ensures that all involved in the update to the 2035 Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan thoughtfully considered the strategic foundation put in place years prior. Following is the table of contents and introduction of the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan.

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: • Active recreational pursuits • Passive enjoyment • Enhanced quality of life • Enhanced community image • Increased tourism 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 experiences for residents near where they live. Rustin Park 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 Stars & Stripes soccer. 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 Park, North Park and Liberty Park at Sheltonwood give Southlake character and a sense of place in the region. Parks can also define neighborhoods throughout the City and serve as 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 events, which take place in public parks, 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. Caring for and preserving these resources, as well as adapting to the changing 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 built and natural environment where Southlake residents can relax and recreate. The recommendations, objectives and policies in the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan 5 4A- Draft 2035 PROS Master Plan- 5 component of the Southlake 2035 comprehensive plan focus on the enhancement and appropriate use of Southlake's parks, open spaces, and programs to meet the changing needs of Southlake's population. Purpose of the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan The Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan is a component of the Southlake 2035 Comprehensive Plan. The comprehensive plan reflects 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 the city's decision -making for the next several years. As such, the comprehensive plan and its components are updated on a regular basis. The Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan was most recently amended in 2018. Before that, the last comprehensive update to this plan document took place in 2013. The City has undergone significant growth and improvements since that time, so it is necessary to address those changes with an update to the plan as a part of the Southlake 2035 Comprehensive Plan. While there are numerous distinct adopted comprehensive plan elements that consider parks, recreation, and open space in Southlake, the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan is the primary tool that will guide decision -making when addressing changes to the City's parks, recreation facilities and open spaces. Recommendations developed in the Plan will also be incorporated into other future elements as appropriate. In addition, the plan will be utilized in setting priorities in future Capital Improvement Program (CIP) planning processes. The Charter for the City of Southlake states that certain components of the City's comprehensive plan, such as the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan, shall address a planning horizon of at least ten years into the future, and these components are to be updated to reflect changing City conditions and requirements every four years. As noted, the latest amendment to the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan took place in 2018. Relationship to the 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 Objectives are driven by the City's Citizen Survey and are outlined in City's Strategy Map. The Strategic Management System guided the development of the Southlake 2035 Vision, Goals and Objectives (VGO), which define a desired direction for growth in the City. Adopted by Ordinance in June of 2017, all subsequent master plan elements developed will be linked back to this document. All recommendations in the Southlake 2035 plans are tied to at least one Strategic Focus Area from the Strategic Management System and at least one objective from the adopted Southlake Vision, Goals and Objectives. The recommendations from the comprehensive plan elements guide the development of the Capital Improvements Program (a five-year plan for the purchase, construction, or replacement of the City's physical assets) as well as departmental business plans. In turn, the Capital Improvements Program and departmental business plans dictate the City's day -today operations to ensure the City achieves the community's goals. Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan 6 AA- Draft 203S PROS Master Plan- 6 Further, the Southlake 2035 Comprehensive Plan assists the City Council, Boards, and Commissions in decision - making by establishing a blueprint for the City's future. For example, the recommendations adopted with this plan element will provide the framework used to determine the parks, recreation, and open space initiatives and programs that get pursued. Using the plan as a guide helps to secure the community's vision for strong programs that engage all residents of Southlake. Adoption Process As will be further highlighted later in the section on Public Input, City Council appointed the Southlake 2035 Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan Committee (Parks & Recreation Board) to oversee the development of the master plan. Based on recommendations from the Youth Master Plan and the Health & Wellness Master Plan, City staff also sought comment from the community's youth through meetings with the Southlake Youth Action Commission (SYAC) and the Southlake Kids Interested in Leadership (SKIL). Staff also met with the Southlake Senior Advisory Commission (SAC) to ensure the City included the senior perspective and took steps to ensure Southlake is an age -friendly community. To further encourage the synergy between the City and school district, staff met with was the Carroll ISD School Health Advisory Council (SHAC). One of the first steps in the update to the Southlake 2035 Comprehensive Plan was to revisit the existing goals and objectives. In June of 2017, City Council replaced the Southlake 2030 Vision, Goals & Objectives with the Southlake 2035 Vision, Goals & Objectives (VGO) (Ordinance No. 1173). This critical document establishes the foundation for the recommendations within not only the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan, but each adopted master plan element. The VGO document reflects changes in the Southlake community since the Southlake 2030 iteration was adopted previously. The Southlake 2035 Vision, Goals & Objectives also address new and future elements that will be included in the master plan. The goals and objectives for this plan are illustrated on pages 28 and 29. Using this as a foundation, as well as incorporating other critical comprehensive planning steps such as surveys and table top exercises, the Committee then developed the recommendations for the plan. INSERT PICTURE OF TOWN HALL Between meetings with the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan Committee, SYAC, SKIL, SAC, and SHAC, the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan was either discussed or presented at twenty (20) committee and group meetings. All City meetings were open to the public and advertised on the City's website. Once the plan was ready to continue moving through the process, the Committee made a recommendation to forward the Southlake 2035 Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan to the Planning & Zoning Commission (P&Z) for consideration, public hearing, and recommendation in accordance with the City's charter. After P&Z made their recommendation to approve the Master Plan, this element proceeded to City Council for public hearing and final approval. On June 15, 2021, City Council adopted the Southlake 2035 Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan as Ordinance No. 1242. A Southlake Program for the Involvement of Neighborhoods (SPIN) Town Hall Forum and open house was also held on May 25, 2021 to present the plan publicly before the City Council meetings to gather additional public input. Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan 7 4A- Draft 203S PROS Master Plan- 7 The forum fosters open and timely communication between the citizens and city government regarding programs and issues affecting the quality of life in the community, encouraging positive relations and a stronger sense of community.

Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan 10 4A- Draft 203S PROS Master Plan- 10 Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan 11 4A- Draft 203S PROS Master Plan- 11 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 S 0 U T H L A K E that comprehensive plan the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan was an element of that plan that since then has �'' contributed to many improvements to the City's park system. This + ' I master plan laid a foundation to the improvements done to the a City's parks and even eventually led to the creation of master plans ' for Bicentennial Park and the Bob Jones Nature Center & Preserve.t � Since the Southlake 2025 Plan and Southlake 2030 Plan, the City's_ IF_ .. .� . needs have continued to evolve due to changes in the population. This and other factors have led to necessary adaptations within the Plan kiOg TIDd2y #or a Br![er Tomarrr,- City's park system. The Southlake 2035 Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan will continue the legacy adjusting to meet the community's current needs, while also anticipating the needs of the future. 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. 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, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan 12 AA- Draft 203S PROS Master Plan- 12 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 the Southlake 2025 comprehensive 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, 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, adopted in 2013, updated the Southlake 2025 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, was been removed and integrated into the Sustainability Master Plan, adopted in 2015. A recommendation from the Sustainability Master Plan was to update the environmental resource protection map every two (2) years (BNE3). That said, as part of the update to the Southlake 2035 Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan this map was been reviewed, updated, and adopted. In terms of the Community Facilities portion of the Southlake 2025 Parks plan, the architectural firm 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, was 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, were integrated into this Parks, Recreation & Open Space / Community Facilities Master Plan and constitute the Community Facilities section of this plan. As previously noted, the Community Facilities Master Plan will be updated as a standalone comprehensive plan element in the future. Community Facilities were not contemplated as part of the update to the Southlake 2035 Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan. The Southlake 2035 Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan updates the Southlake 2030 document. Many of the recommendations for specific parks are being carried over from this previous plan to the current iteration. The updated Plan contemplates numerous recommendations across various other adopted plan elements, as well as the changing needs of the community as demonstrated in the 2019 Citizen Satisfaction Survey, and input from community stakeholders. Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan 13 4A- Draft 2035 PROS Master Plan- 13 Location, Character, and Resources Southlake is located in North Central Texas, situated 23 miles northeast of Fort Worth and 25 miles northwest of Dallas. Dallas - Fort Worth International Airport is only a few short miles to the southeast, and Lake Grapevine borders the city to the north. State Highway 114 runs diagonally through the middle of the city, heading east through Las Colinas and into downtown Dallas and west toward the Alliance Airport corridor. The topography is comprised of mostly gently rolling, heavily treed hills and woodland areas, and the area in the north part of the city around the lake is comprised of some of the most prime native Cross Timbers habitat in the region. A ridgeline running just south of S.H. 114 divides the 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 24 consecutive years by the National Arbor Day Foundation (NADF). NADF 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. Additionally, in 2017 the City was awarded with Platinum Certification (the highest certification level available of the Scenic PROUD TO BE City Certification Program) and is one of only nineteen cities across the ACertified Scenic City state to currently have this designation. The Scenic City Certification Program is a project of Scenic Texas. Scenic Texas has identified a direct correlation between the 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.

One of the early steps in the development process for the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan included combing through these and other adopted plan documents to evaluate existing recommendations as a foundation. It was critical avoid unnecessary redundancy across plan elements, which could result in complications related to implementation the adopted recommendations and measuring those results. The recommendations adopted with each master plan element provide guidance and policy direction for the City, into the future. The City goes to great lengths to not only develop the comprehensive plan documents, but also implement the plan. Recommendations from master plan documents have come into fruition throughout the City; such as the City's community recreation center, Champions Club at The Marq Southlake, the widening of FM 1938, and public art installations within the City's various roundabouts. At the end of the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan is an appendix featuring many of the previously adopted plan elements related to topics such as parks, recreation, and open space. In many cases, recommendations may start in one plan and be further vetted within another plan. An example of this approach can be seen in the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan in terms of pedestrian crosswalks; the Parks Plan identifies opportunities for consideration, and these opportunities would be further evaluated and possibly prioritized as part of the next update to the Mobility Master Plan and Master Pathways Plan. Some of those items have been implemented. Recommendations from master plan elements stay active until they are replaced by a plan update. In Southlake, this cycle is repeated about every 4-5 years depending on the plan element. 2.5 Public Input On August 6, 2019, Southlake City Council appointed the Parks & Recreation board to oversee the development of the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan (Resolution No. 19-025). Altogether, the committee held 15 public meetings between August 2019 and May 2021 to discuss, review, and develop park recommendations for 23 different park and open space areas in Southlake. This section highlights the public input that was gathered in the development of this plan.

Additionally, this same plan included recommendations about working with groups such as the Senior Advisory Commission (SAC) to ensure Southlake is an age -friendly community (HW22), seeking the input of seniors regarding interests in terms of recreational program offerings (HW23), and engaging Southlake's senior community on projects being developed by the City (HW26). With those recommendations in mind, City staff made sure to meet with SAC during the development of the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan. Senior Advisory Commission (SAC) March 9, 2021 Another recommendation from the Health & Wellness Master Plan was to maintain a relationship with the Carroll ISD School Health Advisory Council to identify opportunities to partner and create synergy regarding health and wellness topics in the community. That said, City staff made it a point to present to SHAC during the development of the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan. Carroll ISD School Health Advisory Council (SHAG) January 21, 2021 Youth Involvement Given the level of engagement with the community's youth it is worth going into a bit more detail into the involvement of SYAC and SKIL. The SYAC students participated in a strengths and opportunities table -top activity in the context of parks in the City. Some of the identified strengths included a varierty of activities, clean parks, scenic places, and the programming in the parks. Some of the identified opportunities included outdoor percussion, reading nooks, wildlife awareness signs, public art, and bike trails. It is worth noting that the SYAC and SKIL students also participated in the community parks survey. The responses from these two groups were captured separately from the overall citywide results. Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan 21 AA- Draft 203S PROS Master Plan- 21 The timeline for developing the master plan allowed for two separate SKIL cohorts to provide feedback on the plan. The first SKIL cohort participated in an activity where the students split up into two separate groups, and designed their perfect active and passive parks; these were each presented to City staff following the completion of the activity. The second SKIL cohort focused on public art within two City Parks. The students were given a project to split up into four separate groups of five people each. Then, two groups were assigned to come up with a public art installment within Southlake Sports Complex, and two groups were assigned to come up with a public art installment within North Park. Each of the four groups were provided with background information from existing master plan elements to inform their proposals. Students were asked to consider whether the art piece created a unique sense of place, or interest for the community. Some of the proposals are highlighted in this plan. Due to the pandemic, each presentation took place virtually. What follows are a couple examples of the proposals from the students. One group proposed a sculpture within North Park that featured a mural on the inside of the art piece. Another group proposed a few different elements to be incorporated into Southlake Sports Complex, including an uplifting crosswalk along Crooked Lane into the park, an interactive public chalkboard, and a life-size chessboard. Recommendations were incorporated into the master plan for staff to reference SKIL feedback when considering what art, if any, to add to each of these parks.

City staff and the Parks Master Plan Committee reviewed the most recent Citizen Satisfaction Survey from 2019 to inform discussions about the park system. Additionally, a community survey was opened for residents to provide more specific comments about the future of Southlake parks. The survey contained five separated prompts, all of which were open-ended. Question 1: What is the primary reason that you use parks in the City of Southlake? Question 2: In your opinion, what strengths exist in Southlake regarding parks, recreation, and open space? Question 3: In your opinion, what is the biggest need in Southlake regarding parks, recreation, and open space? Question 4: If any, what barriers prevent you from using parks in the City of Southlake? Question 5: If you woke up tomorrow and five (5) years had passed, and it was suddenly the year 2025 in Southlake, what are a couple things you hope are offered regarding parks, recreation, and open space that may not be offered today? This could include programs, facilities, amenities, etc. The information from the survey was valuable in assisting in the identification of community preferences with regard to the City's park system. All together there were 105 total respones to the survey. The survey, open from February 7, 2020 through February 28, 2020 was promoted through the City's weekly e-blast, with links also shared to City social media accounts. The results of the survey were presented to the Master Plan Committee on June 8, 2020. Word clouds for each question were exported, and the Committee also received the verbatim comments.

Additionally, the City posted on social media regarding the signs around town to provide additional context. Event signs were also placed at key locations around town promoting the update to this plan element, with a weblink to learn more. Parks IW&"'L For the la information Master about the Our parks.

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 Plan is to provide additional context into the City of Southlake park system by defining terms, speaking to existing amenities, highlighting identified needs, and partnerships. 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 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 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. 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. 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. PW Chesapeake Park Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan 26 4A- Draft 2035 PROS Master Plan- 26 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: Noble Oaks Park Community Parks • Playground structures • 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 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 - friendly amenities take priority. 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 baseball, football, lacrosse, soccer, and softball games and practices (lighted and non -lighted) • Areas for community events • Pavilions/community gathering spaces with picnic tables • Park restroom facilities • Sports courts (such as tennis & basketball) • Playground structures • Internal park road system & parking • Open space for both active & passive uses • Hike/bike trails • Nature trails and interpretative areas • Ponds and water features • Viewpoints or overlooks Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan 27 4A- Draft 203S PROS Master Plan- 27 • Park amenities such as drinking fountains, and landscaping benches, signage, grills, trash cans, trees Bicentennial Park Natural Areas and/or Open Space North Park —�q* These areas are natural and are generally left undisturbed, but are not necessarily characterized as land preservations. No organized, active recreational uses are usually accommodated in these areas; they are primarily intended for passive recreational use. The US Army Corps of Engineers lease area is considered natural areas for the purpose of the plan update. Bob Jones Park Public and Private Parks Oak Pointe Park It is important to note that many public parks are dedicated to the City as part of a developer's agreement. In many cases, these parks continue to be maintained by the developer or Home Owner's Association (HOA) per this approved agreement. Some of the parks identified below are owned by the City but maintained by an HOA. For a complete list of public and private parks, see Exhibit E at the end of this plan. Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan 28 4A- Draft 203S PROS Master Plan- 28 Inventory of Parks and Acreage The following exhibits contain a listing of public parks in Southlake and their acreages as well as the classification type based on the criteria mentioned earlier.

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 2019 Citizens Survey, 92% of those surveyed responded that providing sidewalks, trails and a variety of parks was either very important or somewhat important. With this is mind, during the development of this master plan the views and recreation preferences of Southlake residents played an important role in developing the direction of the plan and the amenities needed within the parks and recreation system of the City. An effort was made during the review of the parks of the City to ensure there is connectivity between and within the park system in addition to connections to adjacent neighborhoods and schools.

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 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 this phase of the needs assessment is to consider requests from specific user groups separated by respective activities, surveys, 4, _l and public meetings. These sources, in addition to the input and _ recommendations from the master plan committee formed the 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 considered on how they can be managed as multi -purpose 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 less -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 S. 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, to accommodate and meet the demands of the City's residents.

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 forced -ranking activity are listed below 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. These parks are listed below under "non -prioritized parks." Forced -Ranking Survey Results Park Package Southlake Sports Complex Priority Rank 1 Bob Jones Park (does not include the Nature Center and Preserve) 2 Liberty Park at Sheltonwood 3 North Park 4 Koalaty Park 5 Central Park 6 Town Square Parks (Family Park, Frank Edgar Cornish IV Park, McPherson Park, Rustin Park, Summit Park) 7 Chesapeake Park 8 Lonesome Dove Park 9 Royal & Annie Smith Park 10 Carillon Parks (Corporate Park, Enclave Park, Lake Park, the Preserve Park, Villa Park North, Villa Park South) 11 Noble Oaks Park 12 Oak Pointe Park 13 The Cliffs Park 14 The Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan Committee conducted a separate forced -ranking survey based on certain amenities that were brought up throughout the plan development process. In some cases, the amenities below are referenced within the recommendation for a specific park, such as pickleball at Southlake Sports Complex. The four amenities below were brought up, but not necessarily recommended to be incorporated into a recommendation package for a specific park. However, if funds become available, this amenity prioritization list can help provide guidance based on the Committee's sentiment during plan development. Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan 34 4A- Draft 203S PROS Master Plan- 34 Prioritization Schedule For each specific recommendation, a relative tier ranking has been established to articulate the expected implementation timeframe for that recommendation. Given that some recommendations require inclusion in the City's budget, Capital Improvements Program (CIP), or even a departmental work plan, the priority tier for all recommendations cannot be the same. The Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan Committee confirmed the tier rankings for all the recommendations during prioritization activities which were held for the various sections of the Master Plan. The tiers are divided into three different categories based on timeframe to implement: • Tier 1: 1 to 3 Years (short-term) • Tier 2: 4 to 7 Years (medium -term) • Tier 3: 8 Years and beyond (long-term) Add information about prioritized / non - prioritized parks (a, b, c) It is important to state within this section that recommendation packages will likely be addressed as one. There are several capital costs associated with the identified improvements, and therefore many years of CIP budgeting are often required. That said, there are few identified short-term park recommendation packages given the reality of funding available each year. As noted, the recommendations have been prioritized based on the results of the forced -ranking survey and therefore recommendation packages will be addressed comprehensively as the funding is available. Given the high priority of the Southlake Sports Complex (forced - rank #1) the likelihood of this park being completely redeveloped is much greater than Royal & Annie Smith Park (forced -rank #10) within the Southlake 2035 planning window. That said, it would be possible for staff to address identified park amenity or maintenance items on an as -needed basis as necessary. The tier rankings are used in the development of department work plans as well as the Capital Improvements Program. In fact, the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) planning process begins and ends with projects recommended by all master plans in the City's comprehensive plan. Annually, as part of the City's budget process, city staff analyzes the adopted master plans and develops a comprehensive list of projects with preliminary cost estimates for inclusion in the proposed departmental budgets and the CIP. The proposed departmental budgets and CIP are submitted to the City Manager's Office and the CIP Technical Committee who evaluate requests based on several City Council priorities including this master plan. The priority tiers that were developed during this master plan will help guide future members of the City's boards and City Council when making decisions related to the adoption of the City's annual operating budget and the CIP. While these tiers provide the ideal order of implementation and desired priority for the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan recommendations, all recommendations are subject to available funding during the given budget year. What follows is the complete list of recommendations in the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan. The recommendations are listed in order of how they were prioritized by the Committee during the forced -ranking activity. This prioritization is predicated on months of planning, discussion, review, and analysis with regard to parks in Southlake. Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan 35 4A- Draft 203S PROS Master Plan- 3S Parks in Southlake Recommendations Overview The following pages delve into the specific recommendations within the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan. Recommendations are divided into three (3) categories: Citywide recommendations (Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3) Recommendations for prioritized parks (Tier 1A, Tier 113, Tier 2C) Recommendations for non -prioritized parks (Tier 2A, Tier 213, Tier 2C) These three categories are different in scope and should therefore not be weighed in the same manner. For this reason, the 2035 iteration of the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan divided these items to allow for a more streamlined implementation process. In the case of Citywide policy recommendations, these items generally speak to guidance as related to future park development. In many cases, there is not a direct cost associated with the policy recommendations in the same manner of the other two categories. Staff wanted to make it simpler for anyone reviewing this plan element to understand what the higher priority park recommendations were, thus these were split into two -separate groupings. Perhaps the most important aspect of the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan updates are the changes to the individual park concept plans. Anyone interested about future park development along with the Parks & Recreation Board, Southlake Parks Development Corporation, Planning & Zoning Commission, City Council and City Staff will rely directly on these plans for guidance. This makes the concept plans a critical part of 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. In addition to the individual park concept plans, recommendations have also been drafted to reflect the considerations of the Parks, Recreation & Open Space 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. Citywide Policy Recommendations Many park -specific issues arose during the development of this master plan update. However, there were some recommendations that seemed to be consistent throughout more than one City park. These recommendations were developed during the many meetings of the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan Committee. Together, they shape the city-wide recommendations of this plan and are not specific to any one park rather are to be applied throughout the City's park system as appropriate.

Development Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan 40 4A- Draft 203S PROS Master Plan- 40 Recommendations for Prioritized Parks As referenced previously, the Committee took a unique approach in prioritizing recommendations for this plan, versus how recommendations have been captured in the past. Rather than forced -ranking each park in the system, the Committee only ranked those where capital requests would be necessary because smaller, non -capital items can be addressed annually through the SPDC Fund as an operational item. Put differently, specific amenities were identified for each park, however these do not mean that park was included in the forced -ranking activity. There is ultimately an important distinction between capital and non -capital parks for the sake of prioritizing recommendations. What follows are the identified recommendations for the parks in Southlake in order of priority. Specific amenities within non -capital parks are addressed next. It is also worth noting that the Committee did participate in a separate forced -ranking survey for the purpose of prioritizing specific amenities in the City. By have a prioritize list, staff can point back to the master plan when making decisions about which amenities to pursue in the community based upon this list.

It is located north of Southlake Blvd. (F.M. 1709), west of White Chapel Blvd., and east of Shady Oaks Drive. As additional land was purchased, the park became the center of athletic facilities in the city, and largely remains that way today, with baseball facilities outnumbering all other uses. The park also includes basketball goals, a Tennis Center with a pro shop, the Parks Division offices, and maintenance yard, a large playground, a log cabin community building, the Liberty Garden demonstration garden, and The Marq Southlake. In 2004, the city purchased 6.5 acres adjacent to Shady Oaks, which provides roughly 82 acres of contiguous land for park uses. In February 2007, the City Council adopted the Bicentennial Park Schematic Design. The first phase of the park improvements detailed in the Schematic Design was completed in September 2011 which included a new Bicentennial (American flags) theme for the park, four new youth baseball fields, a new park entry feature off FM 1709, a third park entry drive off Shady Oaks Blvd, additional trails, the development of a large pond with signature vehicular bridge and increased drainage retention, a roundabout intersection, additional trees and landscaping, park amenities, as well as many other aesthetic improvements. Phase II improvements began construction in 2013 and added a new playground, park boulevard connection to White Chapel Blvd including a new park entry feature, new Parks Division offices and maintenance yard, concession/restroom building, a Miracle Field, a high-school (60/90) size baseball field, trails, additional trees and landscaping, and additional aesthetic improvements. Phase III started in 2017 and concluded in early 2021, included a park restroom building, enclosed tennis courts, completion of the trail system, a synthetic turf field to replace the in -line hockey court, as well as irrigation enhancements. Bob Jones Park and Bob Jones Nature Center & Preserve Bob Jones Park began as a series of purchases, a large portion coming from an underdeveloped, small -lot mobile home park that had fallen into disarray. Eventually, with other acquisitions and the Corps of Engineers lease, the park grew to total nearly 500 acres — most of which is prime native Cross Timbers habitat. The first major construction at the park involved completion of 13 soccer fields (several subsequently lighted) and parking, followed by support facilities. The nearby six -acre pond with the bat -wing pavilion serves to collect drainage for use as field irrigation, not to mention a first-class fishing area. On the far north drive entrance, an equestrian parking lot houses trailer parking, corral pens, hitching posts, a picnic area, and a ranch faucet. In 2004 the six practice backstops were retrofitted with lights to create a Girls' Softball Complex, which also includes support facilities, buildings, and another pond. Boo Boo's Buddies Dog Park, which sits on about 2.5 acres east of the Girls' Softball Complex, was added in 2006. Additional parking south of the complex near the pond was added in 2007. Bob Jones Park and the Corps lease were also officially recognized by the City Council in 2002 as the location for the Bob Jones Nature Center. To provide an immediate location, the ranch house on the 60-acre Tucker property purchase was designated to serve as the center. In April 2008, the Bob Jones Nature Center & Preserve was officially opened following major renovations to the Tucker home and the development of the grounds near the facility. In 2011, the Bob Jones Nature Center & Preserve Master Plan AA- Draft 203S PROS Master Plan- 67 was adopted by the City Council. Since then, Bob Jones Park and the Nature Center have become the premier place to enjoy Southlake's natural habitat. There are many recommendations for Bob Jones Park outlined in the 2035 Master Plan. Among the most significant include incorporating more public art, updating parking areas and fencing, adding Wayfinding Signage, and adding an area for pickleball. Central Park Central Park is located in the Shops of Southlake Shopping Center directly across Southlake Blvd. from Town Square. Constructed as part of a development partnership with The Shops of Southlake, more than 32,000 square feet of land was set aside to be constructed into a public park space. The park was created to as a landmark feature and amenity area with the area of The Shops. In September 2005, Park Board recommended the acceptance of the land as a public park. The park was officially named Central Park by City Council in early 2007. The park now boats a fountain and several shaded picnic tables. Due to its location within The Shops development, it is an ideal place for a shopping break or to enjoy a meal outdoors. Recommendations for this park include incorporating recommendation FM-P1 from the Southlake 2035 Consolidated Future Land Use Plan that suggests adding an ice-skating rink during the holiday season and adding a public art piece in Central Park. Additional recommendations consider several improvements including an arched central entrance, an interactive water feature, trees, hedges, and the considering the feasibility of a pedestrian bridge across FM 1709 from Central Park to Rustin Park. Chesapeake Park As one of the only public parks in the southwest area of the city, Chesapeake Park is a neighborhood park that has much potential to further provide enjoyment to the area residents. It features a mid -size pavilion, fishing pier, and playground. Several recommendations were made to address improvements to Chesapeake Park and are included in the concept plan. These recommendations include removing off-street parking and adding on -street parking along Chesapeake Ln, moving basketball and tennis courts to the northeast side of the park, striping the tennis courts for Pickleball, improving fencing, and the addition of amenities such as shade structures, bike racks and trees for natural shade. Other considerations include constructing sidewalks and trails to Chesapeake park from Union Church Rd. and adding age -friendly amenities to the park. Coker Hike & Bike Park The Coker Hike & Bike Park is the only park that is not within the City of Southlake boundaries. This park is located in Grapevine immediately adjacent to the City. The potential to improve the park is minimal due to a portion of the park being in a floodplain and utility power lines with easements running diagonally through the park. Recommendations to this park include retaining the park as open space and working with the City of Grapevine and the USACE on possibly connecting this park to the Grapevine trail system. If feasible, add parking, signage, and park amenities. The Cliffs Park 4A- Draft 203S PROS Master Plan- 68 The Cliffs Park was dedicated parkland during the development of the Cliffs of Clariden Ranch. The approximately 15 acres of open space area is mostly unimproved with the exception of the portion of the park that is on the interior of the Cliffs of Clariden Ranch development. The larger portion of the park between the development and N. White Chapel Boulevard is mostly flat open space with minimal tree cover, particularly on the interior of the lot. In 2019, the Clariden Ranch subdivision was the first of its kind to partner with the City to expand The Cliffs Park trail system. The expansion included connecting two previous sections of the trails, adding benches and making modifications to the irrigation system. Several recommendations for The Cliffs Park were suggested. These include improving park amenities such as adding distance markers, benches, water refill stations and dog water bowls, planting more trees for screening, improving sidewalks and trails, and adding a Gazebo and play structure. Other improvements include adding low -intensity lighting around the trails, adding passive walking trails in the Corps property, and connecting sidewalk segments. Cotswold Valley Park (Estancia) Cotswold Valley Park is a 2.7-acre neighborhood park located in the Estancia subdivision. Mainly serving Estancia residents, it includes a large water feature, a natural trail, and a pedestrian bridge. No specific recommendations were discussed at this time. Estes Park Estes Park compliments Oak Pointe with a 2.3-acre public park area and public pathways. This small neighborhood park features a small pond and large oak trees. The park is a great asset for residents living in surrounding neighborhoods. No recommendations were discussed at this time. Gateway Lakes Park This unimproved park area was dedicated to the City with the development of the new Gateway Church facility. This lot has a wetlands area occupying most of the property. With the development of the Southlake Glen subdivision, more parkland was dedicated to the city. Together, these two areas make up Gateway Lakes Park. Primarily serving the Southlake Glen subdivision, Gateway Lakes Park includes a designated parking lot on the corner of N. Kimble Ave and Kirkwood Blvd and a natural trail system with a trailhead. No additional recommendations were discussed as part of the 2035 plan. East Haven Park East Haven Park is a narrow linear park area that mainly serves the residents of Haven Circle. Due to its limited size and physical development constraints, no major development recommendations were made. Recommendations include adding a water bottle refill station and adding a crosswalk from Sarah Park Trail to increase accessibility and safety of the park from the north side of E. Continental Blvd. 4A- Draft 2035 PROS Master Plan- 69 Johnson Park Johnson Place Park was dedicated as a City park during the development of Johnson Place Estates. This park, like East 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. Recommendations for this park include ensuring consistency of park signage, installing crosswalks where appropriate, and providing additional connectivity to the west and northwest areas of the park. Kirkwood/Sabre Linear Park This small, triangular and linear site is on the west side of North White Chapel Boulevard near Kirkwood Boulevard at the Sabre Campus property. It is a linear park that connects to the other linear private parks throughout the area, including the parks adjacent to the Kirkwood Hollow neighborhood. This site, when the North White Chapel trail is constructed, would make an ideal rest area and picnic spot. To achieve full potential of the site, connectivity is key in development of this park, and as such, has been recommended by the committee. Koalaty Park Koalaty Park is a mostly open neighborhood park with a small stand of trees in the southern end. It currently contains four backstops and is heavily used by local youth sports teams. Due to its strategic location and frequency of use, the committee determined that further expansion of the parks uses is possible. Several recommendations have been made regarding this park including adding restrooms and seating areas to the park, adding decorative bollards to control parking and additional amenities such as shade structures, benches and lighting. Liberty Park at Sheltonwood This park, on the north side of Dove Road at Ridgecrest, is a relatively large and underdeveloped park. It was formerly the site of a "summer camp" area, complete with a pavilion and swimming pool, and during the Southlake 2025 process was mostly undeveloped. In 2009 the first phase of development of the park was completed to include a new, large pavilion structure over the original pavilion slab, trails, landscaping, park amenities, a restroom facility, pond, and parking. Considerations by the committee for the park consisted of clearly marking the public and private areas of the park, adding amenities to the natural areas of the park, and improving park amenities such as adding benches, updating the volleyball area, improved pedestrian connectivity, and adding historical and educational markers. Lonesome Dove Park Lonesome Dove Park, one of the first neighborhood parks, was dedicated and constructed by the developer of the subdivision. This park is completely developed, and major improvements such as adding a playground were made in 2008 per the recommendations of the 2005 Parks Master Plan. Additional recommendations include improving the trail system by providing wayfinding signage in the park, adding age -friendly amenities such as exercise stations, and exploring the educational opportunities in the park. 4A- Draft 203S PROS Master Plan- 70 Noble Oaks Park Noble Oaks Park is an approximately 4.6-acre park in one of the more densely populated areas of the city, located adjacent to Old Union Elementary School. Residents have long enjoyed its simple open space and shade trees for impromptu events and youth sports practice. Improvements in the form of monument signs and a small pavilion have been completed since the last master plan update. During the committee's review of the park, it was determined that the priority for the park was promoting this park as an open, natural area by adding signage, adding amenities such as benches and water refill stations, and providing educational experiences within the park. North Park This park opened in September 2012. The park includes three lighted multi -purpose sports fields, a concession/restroom building, multi -use trails, playground, large pond, landscaping, and open play space. The park represents the level of quality that should be used in development of other City parks that are similar in nature. The park serves as a great amenity to the surrounding neighborhoods, such as Estes Park and Oak Pointe, but also the City as whole due to its flexibility in field use. To maintain the quality of this park it was recommended to update certain amenities such as replacing the scoreboards on the lacrosse fields, improving the walking connection to the Oak Pointe subdivision, adding park amenities, and including public art in the revised concept plan. Other considerations include additional parking and potentially purchasing properties to the east of the park for future expansion. Oak Pointe Park This public neighborhood park on the west side of Ridgecrest just north of Dove Road consists of a series of "pocket park" areas totaling 8.2-acres within the residential development of Oak Pointe linked by a public pathway system. The areas are to be kept in a relatively natural state, and area residents can enjoy the public pond and multiple shaded areas with benches and tables. The committee recommended connectivity as the primary focus for the park, expanding trails and sidewalks as well as providing links between North Park, Liberty Park at Sheltonwood, and Walnut Grove Elementary School along North White Chapel Boulevard. Replacing park amenities as needed was also recommended. Royal and Annie Smith Park Royal and Annie Smith Park was purchased from the Smith family, who had long occupied the premises. The property has a significant bit of history, and includes a hand -dug well, rumored to be the final resting place of a notorious gangster named "Pinky". The history and abundant natural area suggested very minor improvements during the last master plan update. Since that time, amenities such as a playground and play area, pavilion, picnic benches, walking trails, drinking fountain and parking lot have been added to the park. The developed area and the area adjacent to Johnson Road is maintained in a more manicured state, however the undeveloped portions of the park are left in a more natural state per the request of the surrounding neighbors. It is suited for a number of mid- to low -impact activities due to its size. During the review by the committee, it was recommended to add amenities such as trash cans to the park, improving trail connectivity from the park to Harrell Dr, and the addition of a public restroom. 4A- Draft 203S PROS Master Plan- 71 Southlake Sports Complex This approximately 16-acre park was constructed as a private baseball instructional facility and was purchased from the original owners. The property contains three lighted baseball fields (one high school size and two youth size), roughly 100 parking spaces, a 20,000 sq. ft. indoor training facility (currently leased to a private gymnastics instruction group), and approximately six acres of undeveloped property north of the drive entrance. The committee has determined there is significant potential to redevelop this park to become a prominent community park in the City. In FY 2020 the design process for redeveloping the sports complex started. There are numerous recommendations for this park, and they are included in the concept plan. The priorities include synthetic turf at expanded large field and baseball fields, demo of current metal building, concession/restroom building, pavilions and shade structures, maintenance and storage building, a playground, trail development and connectivity, fitness stations, batting cages, parking areas, and public art among others. In addition, this park will serve as the primary hub for Pickleball in the City. Town Square Parks Town Square Parks serve as a main tourist destination in Southlake. Nestled within the Town Square development the parks offer a place for Town Square visitors to take in the scenery and enjoy the green space. The following parks are located within Town Square: Family Park, Frank Edgar Cornish, IV Park, McPherson Park, Rustin Park and Summit Park. Family Park is located directly in front of Town Hall on Main Street. The park features lighted pathways, benches, and a water fountain. Frank Edgar Cornish, IV Park is located on Grand Avenue in the restaurant district of Town Square. It features a paved plaza with a trellis system, fountain, and beautiful landscaping. McPherson Park is located adjacent to the Hilton Hotel. It features a beautiful pond and a loop trail. The park provides beautiful greenspace in an urban environment. Rustin Park is located at Fountain Place and across the street from Family Park. It features the large Rustin Pavilion, a large water feature, sidewalks, and Benches. Summit Park is located adjacent to the Brownstones residential development. The park features a trail, benches, ornamental grasses, and open space. Several improvements to the Town Square Parks were recommended such as adding bollards at Fountain Place and incorporating shared, outdoor working or collaboration space into the master plan for Town Square Parks. They also include considering redevelopment of Family Park to make it more dynamic and suitable for community events. Additional recommendations include adding Public Art, such as a sculpture garden or similar artistic activation if McPherson Park is redeveloped. Watermere Parks Watermere at Southlake is a 67-acred master planned community offering several choices for the over 55 Senior and the Active Adult buyer. The community has two dedicated park areas: Watermere Park and Park at Verandas. Watermere Park features a playground, walking paths, and a small gazebo. Park at Verandas is made up primarily of natural landscaping with a walking trail and features several benches. Recommendations for these parks include removing the existing playground equipment from the park and consider replacing it with passive open space and age -friendly affixed fitness equipment, adding crosswalk treatments to improve resident accessibility to the park area from the condominium building, ensuring consistent park signage throughout the development, and improving the decomposed granite trail area at the northernmost park area near Southlake Blvd. For the Park at Verandas Watermere, it was recommended to add shade trees along the pathways of the park and to consider incorporating additional amenities such as lighting, pet waste stations, and additional tree cover. 4A- Draft 203S PROS Master Plan- 72 Winding Creek Park Winding Creek is a luxury neighborhood situated on 46 acres featuring walking trails, benches, and water features located throughout the development. This park has portions that are public and portions that are private to the subdivision. It is recommended to work with the HOA to develop and place a permanent map delineating the public and private portions of this park. Other recommendations include adding benches on the sidewalks near S. Carroll Ave. Carillon Parks The Carillon subdivision has several areas of dedicated park land. These parks include: Enclave Park, Villa Park North, Villa Park South, Village Green Park, The Preserve Corporate Park and Lake Carillon Park. This system of parks includes trails, benches playground structures, water features and a few pieces of Public Art. Several recommendations were made for the Carillon Parks the most significant being adding park amenities such as distance markers, benches, trail signage and trees to Corporate Park, Lake Park and the Preserve Park. Other recommendations include improving trail connectivity of Corporate Park and Lake Park and adding picnic -style tables to Villa Park North and Villa Park South. 4A- Draft 203S PROS Master Plan- 73 ililliffft"le•.
