Parkwood
Project
The Parkwood Project (formerly the Southlake Community Learning and Discovery Center & Veterans
Memorial Park) will establish a new civic destination that brings together three important community elements
— a modern library and community learning center, a veterans memorial, and an all-abilities playground — into
one cohesive site. Located at 307 Parkwood Drive, the 12.7-acre property will serve as a central gathering
place for learning, reflection, and recreation.
This project combines previously separate efforts for the Southlake Community Learning and Discovery Center
(#2022-83c) and the Veterans Memorial Park (#2025-03c) into a single, unified destination that reflects the
City’s vision for purposeful design, accessibility, and community connection.
Prior funding for HOT tax was provided when a multi-purpose facility was being contemplated; however, the
decision was made to
move forward with a stand-alone library. Existing HOT funding may be used to commission a study to
understand the community’s
interests and needs for a performing arts facility.
Funding will support site master planning, architectural and engineering design, community engagement, and
eventual construction of the new facilities. The project will create a civic space that honors veterans, supports
lifelong learning, and provides inclusive play opportunities for all ages and abilities — advancing the City’s
strategic priorities for quality development, service excellence, and a high-quality community experience.
The Parkwood Project components also represent opportunities for Donations, Sponsorships and Grants that
City staff will work to identify as additional funding mechanisms for each component of this project.

Phase 2
The Southlake City Council approved funding in 2023 to establish a project fund for the
implementation of high impact park enhancements, such as the conversion of athletic fields
from natural grass to artificial turf, as recommended within the adopted Southlake 2035 Parks,
Recreation & Open Space Comprehensive Plan.
This project fund has been used to complete turf installation at Bob Jones Park Softball Fields 3-
6, Bob Jones Multi-purpose fields 4-6 and Bicentennial Park Baseball Fields 3, 6-7. In
accordance with a feasibility study completed in FY 2024, North Park is the FY 2026 selected
priority project that has funding from FY2025 and will require additional funds in FY2026 to
complete both the turf and additional parking enhancement components of this project while also
carrying the appropriate level of contingency (15%) at this stage in the design of the project. The
increase in funds needed is largely due to an increase in the surface area of turf to
accommodate a safe area between field boundaries and the concrete mow strip that will
surround each turf field and additional lighting that will be needed to provide a safe and secure
environment within the parking addition. Completion of turf at this facility will bring access to
artificial turf, additional practice space and adequate parking to City Flag Football programming
as well as Lady Dragon Lacrosse, Dragon Lacrosse, and Dragon Youth Football. This project
combined with the previously-described projects provide each of the City’s seven partner athletic
associations access to turf fields and additional practice facilities.

turf or sod field 11 in bicentennial park, build a second set of lighted batting cages with storage,
current batting cage improvements and additional turfed warm-up areas throughout the

services to finalize pricing for the remaining work. This work includes all plumbing, electrical,

path and seat wall around pond, terraced steps to the pond, great lawn, crushed stone
pathways, stronger connection to the hotel, water features, feature fountains in pond, sculptures,
and enhanced parking and access to the park.
