BACKGROUND
On October 27, 2021, City of Dallas authorized an interlocal agreement with Richardson Independent School District (RISD) for shared access of campus grounds and the design and construction of park improvements (dog park installation) at Parkhill Junior High School. This action increases the scope to add additional amenities to the park including park benches, drinking fountain with dog bowl, meter and tap, dog activity stations, additional trash receptacles, waste stations, and turf and irrigation installation. The supplement will only increase the scope of work to add additional amenities and not the contract terms.
This agreement focuses on an underutilized portion on the southeast portion of the Parkhill Junior High School campus. Currently, residents adjacent to the campus are utilizing the tract of land as a dog park. The interlocal agreement expires on December 31, 2026 but can be extended for an additional ten years if RISD does not need the property for a school expansion.
