Wednesday May 25, the Dallas City Council approved an interlocal agreement with Dallas ISD for the joint development, operation and use of Reverchon Park and Baseball Field.
Councilmember Jesse Moreno, in whose district the park resides, was pleased with today’s City Council vote. “After all this time, we finally got it right – striking a balance between the City, the needs of the students and the surrounding community and neighbors.”
“The Dallas Park and Recreation Board and Department have worked tirelessly to restore this beloved and treasured park that is a welcoming place in a lively and busy urban corridor. We value our longstanding partnership with our Dallas schools and we thank them for joining with the City of Dallas to invest in Reverchon’s ballfield revitalization. The City of Dallas and our school system want to make sure residents – no matter where they live – have equitable and sustainable access to Dallas parks and recreational amenities,” said Arun Agarwal, President, Dallas Park and Recreation Board.
Dallas ISD will contribute $5 million to the project, where these funds will provide The Reverchon Park project much needed and improved recreational facilities to the residents of Dallas and the Dallas ISD community, including new and refurbished facilities, including a baseball field, batting cages, parking improvements, restrooms, equipment storage and concession facilities.
