Bowling Green Park Master Plan Underway

COMMUNITY MEETING PLANNED FOR APRIL 8

The Bowling Green Park and Community Garden is located at 2200 Bowling Green St. The 18-acre community park and garden is home to a playground, picnic tables and benches, a small fruit orchard, and a community garden. In December 2020, Denton City Council approved Pacheco Koch Consulting Engineers, Inc to serve as the consultants and will be developing a master plan and design for Bowling Green Park. This information will become part of the master plan for the development of a completed concrete trail, raised garden beds and includes other items such as, but not limited to a, parking lot, lighting, pavilion and typical park amenities.

Since January 2021, staff and Pacheco Koch have held several meetings to discuss the park and have met on-site to assess the property and identify a plan. Over a series of meetings, Pacheco Koch submitted concept designs to staff that was deemed ready for public review. Moving forward, the Parks and Recreation team will be hosting a community meeting on April 8, 2021 to gather input from the community regarding the proposed designs. From there, the Parks and Recreation team and Pacheco Koch will present the proposed designs with updated community input to the Denton Parks and Beautification board on April 12, 2021 and then to City Council on April 20, 2021.

More details and timelines to come, so stay tuned. Staff contact: Adam Shorter: adam.shorter@cityofdenton.com.
