PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Office of the City Manager DATE: October 7, 2024
SUBJECT: Capital Infrastructure Project Overview
PRESENTER: Adrien Pekurney, Director and
Tanner Arwine, Assistant Director
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This presentation will provide a general overview of the city's capital project process once
a project is approved and adopted in a fiscal year budget. Projects are considered new,
continuing, completed or closed from one fiscal year to the next. Projects moving through
a fiscal year vary greatly based on the scope and scale of the project. Projects in smaller
scope may be completed within the fiscal year adopted while other projects may continue
over multiple fiscal years. All projects vary in scope, but there are specific requirements
and procedures involving long-range assessment, infrastructure assessment, park
amenity request review and assessment, potential design or changes in design,
procurement, construction and completion.
Regardless, each project is unique and viewed through the development of the project
scope and description and ultimately the final outcome for continued positive utilization of
the space or place with needed updates and improvements that extend the life of the
space or place for years to come.

SUBJECT: NRH2O Family Water Park Update
PRESENTER: Frank Perez, NRH2O General Manager
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Staff will report on activities at NRH2O Family Water Park.
PARK PERFORMANCE
NRH2O just completed the 2024 season and is already planning and preparing for
its 31St season in 2025. Final numbers are still being tallied but overall, after facing
a rainy start to the season in May and June and a few other obstacles, the park
was still able to set a few records and was able to finish with the third-best overall
revenue in park history.
• Despite not being able to open due to weather on 6 of the first 16 days the
park was scheduled to open for the public (the most in park history), May
and June saw their third-best monthly revenue totals in park history. May
also saw its second-best per cap overall.
• The Christmas in July event saw the highest single day attendance since
2016 with nearly 4,500 guests attending. The day also had the highest
single day revenue for the season at just over $95,000.
• The addition of the new Beachside Bay Bungalows has gone well with
water park guests. The additional revenue generated by this new seating
area has helped the park set the overall rental revenue record, beating the
old record set just last season. The Beachside Bay Bungalows are
projected to pay for themselves in two seasons and after that they will
continue to provide a reliable and substantial revenue source for the park
for many years to come.
• Depending on a few final numbers, the overall Birthday revenue will finish
with the first or second best year ever.
• The park saw the most revenue ever from non-resident pass sales, beating
the old record set in 2022 by over $20,000.

B. Year End Water Park Awards — The water park held its annual year-end
awards ceremony on Sunday, September 22. The awards are determined by

we are very proud of them for their hard work and efforts to help make NRH2O
the best water park in the nation. There were multiple departmental award
winners along with our two highest awards, the Norma French award, and the

C. Nitro Blast Construction — CGC Construction was selected
to be the general contractor for the construction of the Nitro Blast
by council on September 23. This is the same company that
constructed the Beachside Bay Bungalows. Staff are very
excited to get this project moving forward and look forward to
having the Nitro Blast be the signature attraction for the water
park for many years to come. The Nitro Blast is a dueling rocket
blast waterslide provided by ProSlide. This new slide will be
much more energy efficient than the Green Extreme and will also
triple the throughput. The Nitro Blast also has some exciting
fiberglass features that will enhance the overall guest experience.

ponds that will identify any potential needs for sediment removal. The ponds included in
the project will consist of the three ponds at The Lakes of Hometown, one pond at Liberty
Park, one pond at Green Valley Park, and one pond at Linda Spurlock Park. Data
collected and analyzed will allow city staff along with engineers to determine if, where and
how much sediment removal in the form of dredging is necessary to ensure pond health

usage by citizens, exposure to the elements and natural aging process. The Asset
Management Plan and ongoing park inspections are used to identify assets that have
become worn, unsafe, or unsightly and to create a priority timeline for their repair,
renovation or removal.

and fall surfacing will begin in late October. We expect the project to be completed
in November.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Mr. Tanner Arwine, Assistant Director, will present an update on the following Parks
Maintenance and Operations activities:
General Park Maintenance
• A small paver hardscape was installed at the entrance to the Senior Center. This
hardscape will provide the public the opportunity to honor a loved one with the
placement of an engraved paver hardscape in that person's honor.
• Signal boxes throughout the city will soon be replaced with updated artwork
showcasing the beauty of "Texas Botanicals" blooming in this region of the state.
The vibrant flowers will replace the current signal box artwork showcasing a wide
vareity of music legends. The current gallery has been in place for seven to eight
years and is showing its age. The NRH Signal Art Program was implemented in
2007 to enhance the City's Art in Public Spaces Program. The program works
with local artists and staff to design original artwork for various traffic signal
boxes located throughout the City with rotating exhibits that change
approximately every five to seven years. The North Richland Hills Signal Art
Program has attracted national attention in the years since it commenced, with
several North Texas cities now joining in to beautify byways and intersections
with remarkable art. The NRH gallery is unique in its cohesive and creative
themes with a professional design developed throughout the full gallery of
locations. The Signal Art boxes serve as the City's "outdoor art gallery" in
addition to being used as wayfinding markers and "selfie spots" by commuters,
residents and visitors to the City. History of the NRH Signal Art Outdoor Gallery:
2007 - No specific theme for the first gallery, but all original designs
2013 - "Hollywood Cowboys" arrived in NRH
2017-2018 - "Music Legends" hit the traffic signal stage in NRH
2024 - Arriving Fall 2024! NRH will begin to BLOOM with "Texas
Botanicals" in Nature Right Here. Funding for the signal art gallery is
through public donations and the promotional funds.
