The City of Denton Parks and Recreation Department owns an 18-acre community park and garden that is home to a playground, picnic tables and benches, a small fruit orchard, and a community garden. In December 2020, Council approved Pacheco Koch Consulting Engineers, Inc to serve as the consultants and will be developing a master plan and redesign for Bowling Green Park. From March to July 2021, the City of Denton and Pacheco Koch designed a final park rendering through public engagement forums with the City Council, Parks Board, Committee of Persons with Disabilities, internal staff, and the local community.

On August 1, 2022, the Parks and Recreation Department submitted a grant application to Texas Parks and Wildlife (TPWD) for the Local Park Grant for improvements at Bowling Green Park. This grant provides funding for 50% of the proposed construction.

    Laurie asked 6 months ago

    Sorry for the delayed response.  The park design elements are being finalized with bidding to begin in the spring of 2025.


    The next steps include:

    • Receive approval of the construction documents through Development Services
    • Receive green light from Texas Parks and Wildlife (TPWD) to move forward with bidding the project
    • Advertise the project for bidding
    • Evaluate contractor applications
    • City Council to vote to approve selected company and contract
    • TPWD to review and approve executed contract and paperwork
    • Apply for City of Denton permits 
    • Hold a pre-construction meeting with relevant parties
    • Begin construction of the park improvements


    Hope this helps! Please feel free to ask additional questions through the Discuss Denton website for more information, or email colleen.fitzpatrick@cityofdenton.com.
