New features would include a viewing platform at the highest elevation in the park, a boardwalk, splash pad, skate park and more, if approved.
Fort Worth City Council will vote on Tuesday on whether to endorse a new master plan for Gateway Park, the largest park in the city.Micah Malone has been coming to the park since he was a kid.As an adult, he and his buddies frequent the park's disc golf course."This is where I come pretty much every day in the summer, because it's got the best shade around," Malone said.The nearly 800-acre park could soon undergo a multi-million dollar renovation.
A Tarrant Regional Water District Bond Program will provide $6.6 million, for a total of $14.6 million.That leaves a big gap that Penn says could be closed with public-private partnerships."One of the places we need to advocate more for is parks and rec," said Pastor Kyev Tatum, who represents District 6 on the Parks and Rec Advisory Board.Tatum calls the master plan for Gateway Park a "game changer" for the community.
