Check out the future of Riverside Park
Residents are urged to provide input to help create a new master plan for Riverside Park, 501 Oakhurst Scenic Drive. At an upcoming meeting, residents can discuss and help determine recreational features that would be most desirable to the community.
Several options are being considered by the community for the future of Riverside Park. The options range from providing more active uses, such as soccer and softball fields, to more passive uses such as fishing and wildflower viewing.
Additionally, providing flood storage in Riverside Park by excavating certain areas — a result of the Trinity River Vision project —is an option that is being considered. This option, if pursued, would have the benefit of unleashing federal resources for improving Riverside Park.
Three public meetings have already been held, and a fourth is planned for late January. Stay tuned for future meeting announcements.
In the meantime, for questions about the Riverside Park Master Plan process, contact Randle Harwood, director of program management, at 817-392-6101 or Mark Rauscher, Trinity River Vision director, at 817-392-2446.
