On June 11, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5098-06-2019 authorizing the City Manager to close 66 acres of Sycamore Creek Golf
Course no later than September 30, 2019 and re -purpose the property into a traditional community park for the use and enjoyment of the general
public.
The original Sycamore Park, located south of the former golf course, contains approximately 88 acres and is one of the oldest parks in Fort Worth
having been deeded to the City in 1909. With the closure and re -purposing of Sycamore Creek Golf Course, a master plan was necessary to plan
for the integration and development of both properties into a 154 acre community park.
The Sycamore Park Master Plan has been prepared by TNP and was endorsed by the Park & Recreation Advisory Board on February 26, 2020.
The City allocated $1,050,000.00 in funding from the 2018 Bond program for road and parking lot repaving.
Funds for this project are included in the 2018 Bond Program. Available resources within the General Fund will be used to provide interim
financing until debt is issued. Once debt associated with the project is sold, bond proceeds will reimburse the General Fund in accordance with the
statement expressing official Intent to Reimburse that was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election (Ordinance No. 23209-
05-2018) and subsequent actions taken by the Mayor and Council.
TNP is in compliance with the City's BDE Ordinance by committing to 8% SBE participation on this agreement. The City's SBE goal on this
project is 8%.
