Department Project Title Project Number
Parks and Recreation Northfield Park Renovation PK1603
Project Description
This project involves the redevelopment of the existing community park through the design and construction of new amenities based
on meetings to gather stakeholder input. Recommended park elements for the redevelopment of the park include a new park entry, a
more efficient park layout, upgrade of all equipment and support facilities and introduction of loop trails. The project will also ensure
the protection of the natural creek corridor and provide engaging views to natural areas.

Project Justification
The Northfield Park Redevelopment Project was the top recommendation under the Renovation and Improvement category of the
2007 Park, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan. The 29 acre park is one of the original four parks developed in the City, and
the amenities are aged and in need of removal or renovation. The redevelopment project will provide the opportunity to correct many
issues while emphasizing positive aspects of the park site. The adjacent 17 acre natural area immediately east of the park was
donated to the City as required by the Little Bear Creek Ordinance, and as a result of the Thornbridge Development. In September of
2014, a connection of the John Barfield Trail was constructed in the once untouched natural area and meanders westward into the
original Northfield Park. This new bicycle/pedestrian connection is a vital link to Northfield Park from all Thornbridge neighborhoods,
Grace Meadows neighborhoods and to the Cotton Belt Trail and to the City of Hurst to the east and to Forest Glenn and the City of
Keller. This project will provide an investment in one of the city's established residential areas, improving the delivery of parks and
recreation services allowing continued reinvestment in our City.
