Project Narrative
Wylie East Meadow and Community Park Splash Pads
Project Description:
The City of Wylie seeks funding in the amount of$1,385,000 for construction and installation of
two splash pads to address needs in two different areas of Wylie, Texas.The East Meadow
Splash Pad will be located at 1450 West Brown Street, Wylie, Texas next to the Municipal
Complex Trail - East Meadow Trail that was installed in 2017. The Community Splash Pad will
be located in Community Park at 800 Thomas Street, Wylie, Texas next to the Community Trail.
Currently there are no public aquatic facilities or ways for residents to stay cool locally during
the Summer months outside in the Texas heat. Due to the high expressed interest in splash
pads by residents, the City is planning on addressing two areas of Wylie to reach a greater
amount of the community. The locations were chosen based on proximity to family
neighborhoods that allow for walking or biking to each location and that encourage further use
of the surrounding park amenities such as trails and multi-use fields.
Objectives and Need for Project:
The City of Wylie has a population of 62,434 and has been one of the fastest growing
communities in the state of Texas. The City's population has increased nearly 313% since 2000,
As the City and surrounding areas continue to experience this high rate of development, high
levels of demand have been placed on the City to provide recreational opportunities.
In 2018 the City began an update of its Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan. The
plan was adopted in 2020 by the City Council and it identified areas of improvement based on
citizens, elected officials, consultant, and staff input.
Purpose of the Master Plan
The purpose of this Master Plan is to focus on identifying and preparing for implementation of
the City's parks and recreational needs for the next five-year to ten-year period. It addresses the
entire City limits including existing, proposed, and future parks & recreational opportunities. The
planning team interacted with a diverse Steering Committee, as well as various City staff,
community leaders, and citizen groups during the planning process.
In preparing this plan, some of the key objectives for the future direction of the Wylie park
system include the following:
Collin County Project Assistance Program-Wylie East Meadow and Community Park Splash Pads 2023
• Provide high-quality parks and recreation resources that offer a balanced variety of
year-round recreational needs of the Wylie community;
* Determine a practical means of maintaining and upgrading existing parks and facilities to
prescribed stand and purpose;
Improve the overall appearance and usability of park and recreation resources;
Acquire park land and develop outdoor recreational facilities;
Encourage cooperation and develop partnerships with the school district, governmental
agencies, area corporations, and community organizations to assist with funding,
development and maintenance of park and recreational facilities
Obtain adoption of the Master Plan by City Council in order to provide direction to City
officials, City staff, and residents for implementing the Master Plan
The Action Plan identified parkamenities that are needed, seebelow:

The Master Plan identified Sprayground as the#2 priority for development. The proposed East
Meadow and Community Park Splash Pad project would support this identified priority_
Funding Mechanism:
Funding for the construction of the improvements is proposed to be a joint effort between the
City of Wylie and Collin County. The City approved funding to pay for the architectural plans
needed to design each of the two splash pads, which was completed in late 2022.
For the actual construction, The City intends to utilize funds from the Parks and Recreation 4B
Fund Balance and General Fund. Sufficient funding is available in these funds to meet the
match amount.
Collin County Project Assistance Program-Wylie East Meadow and Community Park Splash Pads 2023
The City anticipates using any funding received as a result of this request for the following
purposes:
• Wylie East Meadow Splash Pad
o Concrete Paving (sidewalk/trail)
o Group Pavilion
o Splash Pad Seat Walls
o Splash Pad Equipment and Installation
o Pumps and Filtration
o Splash Pad Slab and Surfacing
• Community Park Splash Pad
o Concrete Paving (sidewalk/trail)
o Splash Pad Seat Walls
o Splash Pad Equipment and Installation
o Pumps and Filtration
o Splash Pad Slab and Surfacing
The City's goal is to improve this site so that it will address the community needs expressed
throughout earlier planning stages. Usage of the facilities will be available to all Collin County
residents.
Rising construction costs make it difficult to complete this project as designed in full. With help
from the Collin County Project Funding Assistance Program the community will have two
completed, no phasing, splash pads available as soon as summer 2024.
We respectfully request that the Collin County Parks Foundation Board agree to provide a
match of the amount of$1,385,000 to assist with the construction and proposed improvements.
Project Schedule:
The City has completed design and engineering for this project with the assistance of the
engineering/architectural firm Dunaway&Associates. If the City receives notification of the
award in October 2023, the City will be ready to move forward with the purchase and installation
of the splash pads. The City anticipates completing a contract with the vendors and ordering
supplies in Fall 2023 and beginning installation in the Spring 2024. Anticipated completion of the
project will be the Summer of 2024.
The site improvements will generally follow the sequence below:
*Wylie East Meadow Splash Pad only
1. Site work including grading and demolition
2. Installation of utilities
3. *Installation of parking lot
4. *Installation of restroom facility
5. Installation of splash pad pumps and filtration systems
Collin County Project Assistance Program-Wylie East Meadow and Community Park Splash Pads 2023
6. Installation group pavilion and site amenities (trash receptacles and benches)
7. Installation of irrigation andlandscaping completed by City of Wylie Parks and
Recreation Staff
The City proposes to have work performed by multiple reputable contractors with a proven
ability to perform similar work on projects of similar scale. City personnel and representatives
with Dunaway&Associates will perform daily site inspections and coordinate with the
contractors to ensure that all work is being performed as specified.
Implementation and Maintenance:
"The parks and open space system should reflect the coordinated planning and
conceptualization of the park and open space system at a countywide scale, with
implementation at the local community scale." Collin County Parks and Open Space Strategic
Plan (Section 4.1.4)
Personnel in the Wylie Parks and Recreation Department have a successful track record in land
acquisition, construction, operation, and maintenance of municipal park facilities since the
division was established in the mid 1980s. Three of the present managerial staff have
undergone Certified Pool Operator(CPO)training and certification in preparation for the addition
of maintaining splash pads to regular ongoing operations.
The City's personnel are experienced and effective in the management of citizen tax dollars to
achieve project goals, comply with all accounting and reporting requirements and to deliver a
finished product which is on budget. City of Wylie Parks and Recreation Assistant Director is
acting as the General Contractor for this project in an effort to reduce the cost of the overall
project by as much as 20%.
After construction is completed, maintenance crews (under general supervision of the Parks
Supervisors)will perform routine inspections of the facilities. Routine performance of
maintenance duties include, but are not limited to: monitoring chemical levels, maintenance and
repairs to equipment, basic litter control, winterization at the close of season, and pre-season
maintenance prep.
Annual operating and maintenance costs will be funded in all future City of Wylie Parks and
Recreation budgets to preserve the investment so that citizens of Collin County will have a
first-class facility that meets their outdoor recreation needs.

Re: City of Wylie's Grant Application for Wylie East Meadow and Community Park Splash Pads
Dear Collin County Park Foundation Advisory Board,
On behalf of the City of Wylie, I am writing to you to request the Park Foundation Advisory Board's
consideration of funding assistance toward the Wylie East Meadow and Community Park Splash Pad
project. The City of Wylie is committed to provide the funds needed to match the awarded funds from
Collin County Parks &Open Space Project Funding Assistance Program for our request.
The City of Wylie conducted a needs assessment as part of the 2020 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space
Master Plan. Splash pads are a top priority to the citizens of Wylie and the City has committed to bring
two splash pad destinations to the community. Due to the rising costs of construction your funding
assistance will contribute to the completion of these projects as designed in full. We understand the need
to provide optimal recreation amenities, enhance the quality of life, and spark connection for Wylie citizens
and residents of Collin County.
Thank you for your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me or the Assistant Parks and
Recreation Director, Brent Stowers.
Sincerely,
et--
Brent Parker,
City Manager
