Dr. Pillow Park Playground Replacement with Shade- This project provides for the replacement of the
playground at Dr. Pillow Park. The Parks and Recreation Department developed an Infrastructure
Management Plan for park amenities which addresses long term funding needs for replacement
and renovation of park sites and their amenities. Park assets are subject to continual heavy usage
by citizens, exposure to the elements and natural aging process. The Asset Management Plan and
ongoing park inspections are used to identify assets that have become worn, unsafe or unsightly
and to create a priority timeline for their repair, renovation or removal.
Green Valley Park Safety Fence and Drainage Improvements– This project provides for the addition of
1,200 LF of 6' tall black vinyl coated chain link fence between all 8 soccer fields and their adjacent
parking lots at Green Valley Park. Additionally, the project will provide for the planning and
implementation of swales in selected areas on fields 5-8 to improve drainage for more efficient
discharge of storm water after significant rainfall events.
NRH Centre Fitness Equipment Replacement‐ This project provides replacement of the fitness
equipment at the NRH Centre. In FY 22/23 the identified equipment to be replaced is listed below.

ad/abduction combination (one piece replacing two), bicep curl, tricep, ab crunch, torso/oblique,
back extension, dip/chin, pulldown, chest press, shoulder press.
Park Infrastructure Maintenance 2023 - This project provides for maintenance of park infrastructure

Adventure World Playground and Liberty Park ($20K), Trail Concrete Replacements on the Cotton
Belt and John Barfield Trails ($30K), HomeTown Pedestrian Bridge Preservation as a part of a 5

Replacement at various top priority locations ($30K) . While this list is thorough, changes can be
made during the year due to safety or damages that arise.
Weather Stations and Inclement Weather Alert Systems- This project identifies strategic locations for
three weather stations and six audible weather alert systems at identified parks and recreation
facilities within North Richland Hills. The weather stations would be located at Iron Horse Golf
Course, NRH2O Family Water Park and Green Valley Park. The weather stations provide real time
and proactive portable lighting detection and alerts along with advanced weather radar software
with high-definition weather and lightning detection radar which indicates precipitation and lightning
patterns for proactive safety decision making. Along with the three weather stations, six high
utilization parks and facilities have been identified to house audible weather alert systems at the
identified site. The audible weather alert systems would be located at: Northfield Park, Green Valley
Park, Cross Timbers Park, Walker's Creek Park, Richland Tennis Center, and Weather Stations and
Inclement Weather Alert Systems.
