ACM: Cassey Ogden
DATE: March 21, 2023
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Fun Abounds, Inc., through the Buy Board
Cooperative Purchasing Network Contract # 679-22, for the construction of the McKenna Park
Improvements for the Parks and Recreation Department; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor;
and providing an effective date (File 8183 – awarded to Fun Abounds, Inc., in the not-to-exceed amount of
$167,806.00).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
Over the past three years, the Parks and Recreation Department has worked towards enhancing McKenna
Park. Improvements made in 2021 include the completion of the loop trail, shade structures, parking lot,
and playground replacement for McKenna Park.
The scope of the 2021 playground project included the relocation of the new structure closer to Thomas
Street to the east. (The new footprint is highlighted in blue in Graphic 1.) Relocation of the playground
resulted in a vacant area where the playground was previously positioned and a need to assess the area for
future use. (Old footprint highlighted in pink in Graphic 1).

The Parks, Recreation, and Trails System Master Plan (PRTSM) was adopted by City Council on March 1,
2022. This agreement is vital in future planning for Parks and Recreation and its mission to serve and meet
the community's needs.
The PRTSM provides goals and action plans for various components of the park system. Specifically:
• 2.1.4 Incorporate amenities within parks that are not present to create engaging placemaking.
• 2.1.8 Integrate outdoor fitness stations and/or workout areas in key areas within the park system.
Staff used the above goals to guide the selection process for the proposed equipment additions for McKenna
Park. The new bouldering and log balancing equipment will provide a unique outdoor recreation
opportunity that currently does not exist in the Parks and Recreation system. In addition, the equipment will
promote physical and mental wellness, accommodating all ages. Additional information regarding the
specifications and further details of the proposed equipment is in Exhibit 2.
