The Houston Parks and Recreation Department (HPARD) recommends City Council approve an interlocal agreement (ILA) with the Old Sixth Ward Redevelopment Authority (6th Ward RDA) and appropriate funds for the construction of improvements at Dow Elementary Park.
Scope of work includes refurbishment of the sports court and of the existing play structure, additional play features and new playground fall surfacing, new lighting, sidewalks, fencing, a custom shade structure and fireplace, benches, tables, trash receptacles and drinking fountain. The 6th Ward RDA has funded and completed construction plans approved by the HPARD Director.
The 6th Ward RCA is contributing an estimated total of $492,000 to the project. If City Council approves, HPARD will contribute $600,000 from the Park and Recreation Dedication Fund (4035) toward project construction and grant right-of-entry to the 6th Ward RDA to contract for construction of the project.
