Parks & Recreation Capital Projects
Department Project Title Project Number
Parks and Recreation Adventure World Playground Improvements Phase 2 PK2201
Project Description
This project provides for the second phase of improvements at Adventure World Playground. A new small pavilion will be
constructed adjacent to the playground. This project also includes a new irrigation system adjacent to the playground, parking areas
and open space near Starnes Road.

Project Justification
Significant improvements to the Adventure World Playground were completed in September 2014 with new playground equipment
for children aged 2-12. Additionally, new brightly colored shade structures were introduced to the playground in March 2016. After
the first phase of improvements were completed, the playground became one of the most popular in North Richland Hills. Adjacent
to the playground is a very small shade structure with a picnic table, but it is not adequate enough to substitute as a rentable pavilion
for group or family use. A new pavilion adjacent to the playground will satisfy the need for a structure with picnic tables, grills, trash
receptacles and electrical for use by the public. The new pavilion will also provide a source of revenue for the department and will
assure guests that their reservation will be held especially for them.

Additionally, the park area surrounding the playground has never been irrigated. This has resulted in weak and unattractive turf
especially in times of drought. The lack of sufficiently watered vegetation near the playground also makes erosion from the nearby
wooded area unmanageable. A new irrigation system will provide a well maintained lawn at Adventure World which has become
standard for all of our parks and facilities as well as stability to highly erosive areas near the playground.
The project funding source is Park Sales Tax (125).
