On May 23, 1978, (M&C G-3820) and May 13, 1980, (M&C G-4538) the Fort Worth City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into various cooperative facility improvement agreements between the PARD and Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD) in the joint acquisition, development, maintenance, and/or use of facilities and services. The City provides general maintenance of the Meadowood Park property in accordance with the lease, but without fee ownership of the land.

The City will pay estimated closing costs in an amount up to $8,000.00. Funding for this project was not included in the PARD FY2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program due to the unpredictability of parkland acquisitions.

The property is currently leased from the FWISD. Funding is availabe in the Pard Dedication Fees Fund for the Park & Recreation Department for the purpose of funding the Acquisition - Meadowood Park.
