Section 10-F (of the Park Land Dedication Ordinance)
10-F. 1 Any land dedication to the City under this section must be suitable for park and recreation uses.
Consideration will be given to land that is in the floodplain or may be considered "floodable" even though
not in a federally regulated floodplain as long as, due to its elevation, it is suitable for park improvements.
(a) Neighborhood park sites should be adjacent to residential areas in a manner that serves the greatest number
of users.
Comments:
(b) Neighborhood park sites should be located so that users are not required to cross arterial roadways to access
them.
Comments:
(c) Sites should not be severely sloped or have unusual topography which would render the land unusable for
organized recreational activities.
Comments:
(d) Sites should have existing trees or other scenic elements.
Comments:
(e) Detention/retention areas will not be accepted as part of the required dedication, but may be accepted in
addition to the required dedication. If accepted as part of the park, the detention/retention area design must be
approved by the City staff and must meet
Comments:
10-F. 2 Parks should be easy to access and open to public view so as to benefit area development,
enhance the visual character of the city, protect public safety, and minimize conflict with adjacent land
uses. The following guidelines should be used in designing parks and adjacent development:
(a) Where physically feasible, park sites should be located adjacent to greenways and/or schools in order to
encourage both shared facilities and the potential co-development of new sites.

( / �
(b) A proposed subdivision adjacent to a park may not be designed to restrict reasonable access to the park from
other area subdivisions. Street and greenway connections to existing or future adjoining subdivisions may be
required to provide reasonable access to parks.
Comments:
(c)Where a non-residential use must directly abut a park,the use must be separated by a screening wall or fence
and landscaping. Access points to the park may be allowed by the Planning and Zoning Commission if a public
benefit is established.
Comments:
(d) It is desirable that a minimum of fifty percent(50%) of the perimeter of a park should abut a public street. In
all cases,the City shall approve the proposed street alignment fronting on city parks.
Comments:
(e) Streets abutting a park shall be built in accordance with the thoroughfare plan and the standards of this
ordinance; however, the City may require any residential street built adjacent to a park to be constructed to
collector width to ensure access and prevent traffic congestion. The developer may request oversize participation
in such an instance.
Comments:
Staff Recommendations: The Master Development Plan shows 54 acres of
mpmrtment/tovvnhomea. Although the applicant gives no dwelling unit count,with an approximate density
of 15 dwelling-units per acre,the total number may be as high as 810 units.
This would require a 6.4-acre land dedication. It is a guess as to what may be developed because the
applicant has not provided a final count.
Staff will attempt to provide additional information and develop a recommendation before the Board reviews
the project.

Program Evaluation
Program Name: eXtreme EXIT
Brief Description: An outdoor,adventure-based learning program designed to provide youth hands-on
experiences to aid in their leadership development,decision making skills and how to go beyond their
limits.
Location(s): EXIT Teen Center/Destination of Activity
Date(s): Fall,Winter,and Summer (Each season consists of 8 trips)
Target Market Age: 12-18 Gender: M/F
Number of participants: 12/series
Maximum Possible Participation: 14/series
Percent Satisfied on program evaluation: 100%
(Attach summary of surveys)
Fees: $25.00/participant
Budget: $5600.00($1860.00/series)
Expenditures: $1467.00(Based upon one completed season since program implementation)
Revenues: $0.00 No fee for the first series as it was a I ilot for our grog-am. however for the series we are
now operating we have recovered$300.00 in fees).
Survey Results(If available): Our youth felt"pushed to their limits and beyond"as the activities were"cool
and exciting"(especially the ropes course, scuba diving and rock climbing).
Staff comments: As facilitators encouraging leadership during experiences where our kids were out of
their comfort zone,they,too,felt"pushed to their limits".
What are the benefits of the Program? Youth growing up in a society of video games,televisions and email
are getting back to the basics of nature. Our kids went through camping demonstrations,basic water safety
skills and so much more. They were forced on a natural level to cope with things that were new and
foreign to them. Our program has also created a wonderful working relationship between the city and
TAMU Outdoors.
Continue Program: Yes/No Why or why not? Our department made the decision to let Explorer
Post fade into eXtreme EXIT. Without this program, we lose one of the only programs providing our youth
with outdoor education.
Program Evaluation
Program Name: VIP Field Trip Package
Brief Description: An overall package including field trips,snacks,lunches and a disposable camera
designed to enable youth a guaranteed spot on all field trips scheduled for that season by the Teen Center.
Location(s): EXIT Teen Center/Destination of trip
Date(s): Fall,Winter, Spring Break, and Summer
Target Market Age: 12-18 Gender: MT
Number of participants: 14/season
Maximum Possible Participation: 14/season
Percent Satisfied on program evaluation: 90%
(Attach summary of surveys)
Fees: Varies based upon series of activities($50.00-$75.00)
Budget: $9000.00($2250.00/season)
Expenditures: $2076.54(Based upon one season completed since the implementation of this program)
Revenues: $1050.00(Based upon fees of one season at$75.00)
Survey Results(If available): Partici satin. outh were extremel I ositive about the e ro•ram. The
enjoyed the choice of trips(including such adventures as Wonderworld, Splashtown,Paintball,Houston
Zoo and much more . The onl ne•atives res onders ex'Dressed focused on the choice of food the .ot
tired of sandwiches).
Staff comments: They enjoy the trips more than the kids!
What are the benefits of the Program? As with most of our programs,there is no alternative. A large
majority of these kids get a chance to go places that working or absent parents simply don't have the time
to experience with them. The trips break up the monotony of hanging out at the Teen Center.
Continue Program: Yes/No Why or why not? Without this program,these kids would quickly become
bored at the Teen Center,and find something else to do(which would more than likely be negative and
unproductive).
Program Evaluation
Program Name: Teen Talk
Brief Description: A discussion series designed to focus on issues facing our youth. Guest speakers and
panel discussions provide an avenue for our kids to express concerns,ask questions and discuss life
experiences. Program meets one night a week for ten weeks per season.
Location(s): EXIT Teen Center
Date(s): Fall,Winter, and Summer
Target Market Age: 12-18 Gender: M/F
Number of participants: 22(avg.per session)
Maximum Possible Participation: unlimited
Percent Satisfied on program evaluation: 65%*
(Attach summary of surveys)
Fees: $0.00
Budget: $1200.00($400.00/season)
Expenditures: $365.00(based upon one fully completed season)
Revenues: $0.00(Though,we have had kids join after attending this program;therefore, impacting our
membership revenues).
Survey Results(If available): *Survey taken after one series,adjustments made this fall have resulted in a
satisfaction rate of 100%. Topics being discussed by the kids in these sessions were then being taken
outside the sessions by staff, so we are careful to maintain confidentiality within that meeting. Also,we
now have a better gauge for which speakers will be successful with our youth.
Staff comments: "It's neat to see the realization in the kids as they see us (the staff)go from just being
there to have fun to really seeing us as concerned, caring counselors."
What are the benefits of the Program? With so many of our youth coming from broken homes or multiple
working parent households,they are too often lost in the shuffle. Nobody thinks to ask what is going with
them,"after all,they're just kids,what could they have to worry about". We realize these kids actually
have a lot to deal with,such as abuse,drugs, divorce,college, and peer pressure. Our program provides
an avenue to deal with their issues in a positive realm.
Continue Program: Yes/No Why or why not? The only similar alternative is a program offered
through STAR for kids who are already in trouble. Our program is working toward prevention.
Program Evaluation
Program Name: EXIT Teen Center-General Operations
Brief Description: A safe place offering supervised recreation and after school education,designed for
outh/b outh. We offer the onl 'lace in the Brazos Valle created solel for teens to call their own.
Location(s): 1520 Rock Prairie Rd., Southwood Athletic Complex
Date(s): Year-round
Target Market Age: 12-18 Gender: M/F
Number of participants: 12,465 (FY02)
Maximum Possible Participation: Unknown
Percent Satisfied on program evaluation: 83%*
(Attach summary of surveys)
Fees: $10.00/yr or$1.00/day
Budget: $170,000.00(FY03)
Expenditures: $150,000.00(FY02)
Revenues: $7000.00(FY02)
Survey Results(If available): *Combination of all programs and general operations as we were trying out
new programs,rules and policies.
Staff comments: Number one response made by staff members,"I just wish there had been a place like this
when I was a kid".
What are the benefits of the Program? The 12 to 18 year old population is now recognized as the"most at-
risk"group in our society due to the lack of supervised recreation. We offer tutorials, counseling,trips,
ODED and fun. Nowhere else in this area can teens become involved in a program specifically designed
for them.
Continue Program: Yes/No Why or why not? Beyond the reasons listed above, studies have shown
that this age group,when unsupervised,quickly falls into destructive behavior patterns(ie drug use,
vandalism and sexual activity). We are addressing this problem successfully and continue to grow.

Program also involves access to specialized programs, services, and
resources. Internet support as well. Off site opportunities. Team approaches
and collaboratives to serve the youth in area. Staff provides after school
transportation and tutorial and computer services for children. Summer
program operates 9-10 weeks out of a year.
2. Describe why this program should be continued or discontinued:
We desire to continue to support the mission of the Boys and Girls Club of
America at the juncture of the development of Lincoln Recreation Center
youth activities. We have seen and document more support from the local
affiliate, the Brazos Valley Boys and Girls Club. The Center staff implements
all core programmed activities effectively and closely monitors regional and
national initiatives which engages our youth to be caring, active, and
productive citizens. Participation in our character and leadership,
educational, and girls sports activities were way up last year in numbers.
Afterschool participants equaled 125 daily and summer participation
numbers were at 230 participants daily. We have noticed that most children
look forward to three aspects of our programming. One being field trip
experiences, two being special activities and the other being afterschool home
work assistance and access to computers.
There are many successful collaborative projects with as many as 30 social
health youth directed agencies and volunteer service organizations to assist
the Lincoln Center staff in meeting the needs of its primary customers.
We reserve the right to be autonomous in our club programming for youth
and until further commitment to quality is received from local affiliate and
equaled to the City of College Station.

Senior Services Coordinator Report
February 2003
Senior Day at the Capital
What a day! The Area Agency on Aging sponsored four buses from the Brazos Valley to attend
the big event in Austin. The city sponsored refreshments for two busses and the Gold Medallion
Club provided for two. Approximately 200 seniors participated from our area including Lincoln
Center, residents from Lulac and the Villas and seniors from Madisonville and Brenham Senior
Centers. Seniors met with our state representatives and enjoyed a day of activities at the Capital.
We left Post Oak Mall at 7:30am and returned at 4:30pm. Approximately 4000—5000 seniors
visited the Capital from all around the state.
Singing with Seniors
The College Hills Head Start children performed for the seniors at Lincoln Center for a
Valentine's Day party on Thursday, February 13th. We had 36 children and 16 seniors who shared
valentines and cookies and punch.
Valentine Ballroom Dance
On Thursday,February 13th from 7:00pm- 9:30pm a dance was held at the College Station
Conference Center with approximately 20 participants. We had a DJ provide the music and
decorated for Valentine's Day. Refreshments were served and each lady left with carnations
donated by Post Oak Florist and HEB store. St. Joseph Gold Medallion Club co-sponsored the
event. Participants paid $5.00 each. The next dance will be held on Thursday, March 20th at the
College Station Conference Center.
Third Friday Bridge
On Friday, February 21 we had four tables for bridge at the Teen Center from 9:30am-12:30pm.
This arrangement seems to be working better than meeting at the Annex. Each month a member
from the group contacts the list of players to remind them of the time and place. Anyone is
welcome to play and there is no fee. The next meeting is Friday, March 21st.
Computer Club
The group continues to grow and they have now purchased their own computer for demonstration
and class use. The club meets the second and fourth Wednesday of every month at the College
Station Utilities Dept. on Graham Rd. with the exception of February 26th the club will meet at the
College Station Conference Center. The club will not meet during Spring Break, but will meet on
March 26th
Classes
New Computer Classes and others will begin the last week of March. Classes offered will include
Beginning and Intermediate Computer Classes as well as Internet basics, Jazzercise, Rug Hooking,
Chair Caning, Bridge, Smocking. All registration takes place at the College Station Parks and
Recreation Dept. There is a cost for these classes.
Seniors Expo
The planning committee for Seniors Expo 2003 is preparing for a bigger and better Expo. Letters
and applications for booths will be mailed by March 1st. The day is scheduled to begin at 9:00am-
4:00pm at the Brazos Center on Wednesday,May 28th. The booth fees are $40.00 and include
lunch for two. No items are to be sold,but information may be distributed. There is no fee for
seniors to attend the event. (Stay Tuned)
DRAFT
Revised Recreation, Park, and Open Space Master Plan
Listed below are the major items that were revised in the Recreation, Park, and Open
Space Master Plan originally approved in July 1999.
Section I—Introduction
(Updated Demographics)
- Population figures from the 2000 Census were utilized. The original Master Plan
utilized population figures derived from the 1990 Census.
- The Park Land Dedication Ordinance was revised and approved by the City Council
in January 2002.
Fee Increases:
Single-Family Multi-Family
1999 $452 $345
2002 $556 $457
- The Park Zone lines have been redrawn to include additional property recently
annexed by the City. The intention is to approve these new zone lines when the
revised Master Plan is approved.
Section V—Inventory
- An inventory update was completed to show all additional parks and facilities. Major
changes included the addition of Veterans Park and Athletic Complex and Castlegate
Park. A new community park site on Rock Prairie road was also acquired.
- The inventory section was updated to include the completed 1998 bond program
projects. All of these projects are scheduled to be complete in 2003.
- The number of developed parks has increased from 30 to 33. (Additions of Madeley
and Castlegate Parks, and Veterans Park and Athletic Complex.)
- Tennis court availability has increased from 12 to 27 due to successful cost sharing
projects with the College Station Independent School District.
- Softball field and soccer field inventories have increased with the addition of
Veterans Park and Athletic Complex.

DRAFT
Section VI —Needs Assessment and Identification
(New Service Levels Established)
Ratio of acres per 1,000 citizens:
1999 — 7.82 acres per 1,000 residents
2002 — 8.92 acres per 1,000 residents
The standard set in the original Master Plan was to maintain a minimum of seven (7)
acres per 1,000 residents. This equates to 3.5 acres per 1,000 neighborhood parks, and
the same for community parks.
Ratio for Community and Neighborhood Parks:
Neighborhood Parks Community Parks
1999 3.87 acres per 1,000 residents 3.95 acres per 1,000 residents
2002 4.16 acres per 1,000 residents 4.76 acres per 1,000 residents
These figures exclude Lick Creek Park and Veterans Park and Athletic Complex.
- The ratio of 8.92 acres per 1,000 residents is above the standard set by the Master
Plan.
- Additional acres needed by zone have been updated to include new population
projections and additional acquired property.
Section VII —Prioritization of Needs and Plan Implementation
1. Softball program development.
2. Soccer program development.
3. Indoor recreation facility development.
4. Trails acquisition andior development.
5. Natural area acquisition and/or management.
6. Neighborhood park acquisition and/or development.
7. Community park acquisition and/or development.
A review of each priority has been included in Section VII to further explain the current
status and future implementation plans.
Implementation includes strategies for future bond issues, cooperative ventures with the
College Station Independent School District, improved maintenance facilities, and
continued use of park land dedication funds.

History
The Lincoln Center/Wayne Smith Park Master Plan was originally completed and
adopted in 1990. This ambitious plan linked the two municipal properties together in a
plan to provide additional park amenities to the neighborhood and community.
The plan received public input through surveys and public hearings. The Lincoln Center
Advisory Committee and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board also provided input.
The plan provided direction for staff to begin development with clear goals in mind. The
function of the City property in the corridor was divided into the areas of neighborhood
use, social services, community use, and a fourth area that mixed neighborhood and
community use.
Acquisition of additional property was essential to the plan. This additional property
provided the required linkage and space for additional park features requested by
participants in the planning process. The majority of the property to be acquired was
either vacant or substandard housing.
The adopted plan called for continuation of the neighborhood/community functions of the
Lincoln Recreation Center, extension of Eleanor Street to Montclair, addition of
neighborhood park features, addition of a youth baseball park, and installation of a social
services center on the east side of Eleanor Street. The youth baseball park was included
because, at one time, all youth baseball was played in the area until new facilities were
developed in Southwood Athletic Park. The survey respondents asked that youth baseball
return to this area so that it would be more accessible to the residents in the
neighborhood.
Also included in the plan was a new West District Maintenance Shop located in the
Southwest portion of the park.
Plan Implementation:
I. Beginning in the early 1990s thirty-one (31) separate pieces of property were
acquired to connect various portions of the park. The result was a single park
property of 21.26 acres. Much of the purchased property was cleared of brush and
debris and developed into open space.
IL Eleanor Street was extended in 1994 from Montclair to Thompson Street. This
provided better access to the park and added significant on-street parking
opportunities. Sidewalk improvements were also completed.
III. In 1994, a number of site improvements were made. These included drainage
improvements, sidewalks, bridges, and area lighting.
IV. The Wayne Smith youth baseball fields were completed in 1999. This project
included three (3) fields with a 200-space parking lot and a large
01Project/Lincoln—Tarrow Master Plan.doc 2 Rev. 2/25/2003

fencing, turf, and drainage.

Data Collection
Many different sources were used in the collection of the data. Opinions and information
were solicited from both the private and public
sectors to insure thoroughness. City staff,
public officials, community groups, and individual citizens were all involved in the
process. Much of the technical information from the original 1990 study did not need to
be duplicated; however, it was reviewedas part of this process.
Both the Parks & Recreation Advisory Boardand the Lincoln Recreation Center
Advisory Committee were consulted for their input at meetings during the process. Staff
from the Parks and Recreation Department and other city departments were interviewed
for the study.
All user groups of the Lincoln Recreation Center were polled during the survey to insure
that no user group was left out of. theprocess. The groups surveyed were area private
L
schools, area churches, former Lincoln School graduates, area residence, local neighbors,
educators, and the youth that attend the center. Several public hearings were held during
this process to collect additional input from interested citizens.

Priority List of Needs
2002 Lincoln/W.A. Tarrow Park Master Plan Survey
Priority List
Local community residents, area leaders, members of the Lincoln Foimer Students
Association, Concerned Black Men of the Brazos Valley and Lincoln Recreation Center
Advisory Committee reviewed the results of the recent survey. This survey's purpose
was to gather community input addressing the needs of the community. This information
will help to identify capitol improvement projects for the future. A public hearing was
held December 9, 2002 at 6:45 p.m. at the Lincoln Recreation Center. A total of 28
citizens were in attendance. The group developed a list of potential improvements and
then prioritized them into the following list. The proposed list of ideas will be given
further attention in the development of the 2002-2003 Lincoln/W.A. Tarrow Park Master
Plan Update.
Prioritized list:
1. Multipurpose facility expansion to encompass low-income daycare needs, senior
program, auditorium(capacity 100-200) for civic and cultural programs and events,
class rooms for community education activities, exercise room with equipment and
showers/dressing area and additional space for game room. Most in attendance were
thinking of expanding to the south of the current building. Participants stated that
future expansion on the south side of the existing complex could cause the
playground to be relocated to another area in Tarrow park. Most in attendance agreed
that available space on south side of Lincoln was acceptable.
2. Additional parldng has been needed at the Center for many years. Current
programming causes parking congestion on local streets in the neighborhood.
Participants stated that any expansion in the building would most likely cause parking
requirements to increase over current needs.
3. Improving the children's play area was given consideration based on future
expansion, anticipated usage, safety, and security. When relocation of the playground
is considered, shade for parents should be part on the plan.
4. Upgrading and covering the outdoor basketball court was recommended. With
the increased use of the gymnasium by regular customers, Brazos Valley Boys and
Girls Club sports, private schools and CSPARD Athletics, there are times when
scheduling is a problem. Programming recreational activities for youth, coordinating
a variety of functions and special events take time away from many local users who
desire to use the gym. Spring and summer months bring about competition for gym
space. Being able to transfer activities to a covered play area would suffice and give
the staff the capacity to deliver services more effectively. During the summer as the
0:/Project/Lincoln—Tarrow Master Plan.doe 13 Rev. 2/25/2003
program is at its maximum use inside the complex. Children do not have the option
to play in a safe area outside due to the heat. An outside covered area will give the
staff more flexibility in planning a diversity of appropriate activities, easing
overcrowding in rooms, hosting special events, and give the public more overall court
time. The outdoor court is currently used seasonally due to heat and cold extremes.
Special attention should be given to types of lighting and other utilities to maximize
use.
5. Splash/water playground/swimming pool. Swimming is a favorite activity by many
of the respondents who completed the survey. After discussion the group favored a
splash/water playground over a swimming pool because of cost, difficulty in securing
funding, intergenerational appeal, safety, and security. Design elements of a
splash/water playground might lend itself to other potential uses during the off-season
for youth and community activities.
0:/Project/Lincoln—Tarrow Master Plan.doc 14 Rev. 2/25/2003
Implementation Plan
This plan is the result of a critical analysis and review of the Master Plan that was
originally developed in 1990. After careful review of the survey results and priority list,
staff looked at the different options for placement of the new and upgraded facilities.
Much care was incorporated into the process to insure the community wishes were
addressed, as well as, the preservation of the existing athletic fields.
At a public meeting on December 9, 2002 alist of priorities was made. The item
identified as the#1 priority was more building space for activitiesat Lincoln Center.
Staff feels that this could be implemented in two phases. First with the addition to the
existing building; and second withconstruction of a second building. The first addition
should include shower/ dressing rooms and room for youth programming. And the
second building should accommodate. rooms for senior programming and a large
multipurpose room that can be divided
ed into smaller rooms for youth/ community
programming. Most in attendance at the public hearing agreed that available space on
south side of Lincoln Center is an acceptable location for the building.
The second listed priority from the public hearing was additional parking. This would
have to be included with any building extension or addition. The soccer practice field
west of the Lincoln gym was a high priority to preserve as a playing surface. Also, due to
historical significance,the two bur nags that.are the only original structures left from the
Lincoln School are important to the corn.munity. The community wants to explore ideas
for preserving that portion of their history, and want to reserve the decision on those
building until a later date.
Placement of each component, as recommended, is to maximize the land use and future
operation of the facilities. The playground south of Lincoln Recreation Center is nearing
the end of its life expectancy. The community has asked that it be relocated to the north
side of the building near the gym and parking area. It is recommended to remove the
current playground and install a new playground north of the gym near the parking lot.
Due to the underground drainage culverts that bisects the property, there are some
limitations to what can be constructedover.nthe culverts. Parking is an allowable activity
and it is recommended to place the parking
over it. It was felt that the covered basketball
court would fit best in the corner ofthe g
parkinglot. This will allow for greater"line-of-
sight" supervision from the center. It also places it in close proximate to the center for
multi use of that structure including youth programming and activities, dance practice,
etc.
A water structure was incorporated in to the plan as requested by the community. The
placement of that zero depth unit was the themost difficult to locate. Staff wanted it to be in
a highly visible space with easy access tousers. It was determined that clustering it
with the other outdoor facilities would best serve all involved as well as detour
vandalism.
0:/Project/Lincoln—Tarrow Master Plan.doc 15 Rev.2/25/2003
Implementation of this plan is recommended to be accomplished in a multi year
approach. Funding availability will determine in any decision to proceed. Multiple
funding sources might be the best way to achieve successful completion of these
proposed improvements.

Introduction
The WA. Tarnow Park Corridor (formerly Lincoln Center 8L Wayne Smith Park) is
located on the west side of the City of College Station, approximately one half mile south
of Texas A&M University. It is in the heart of a low-to-moderateincome area.
The corridor area is anchored on the north bya girl's softball field and adjacent
playground equipment at the intersection of Park Place and Fairview. On the south is
bounded by Holleman Drive next to the Lincoln Recreation Center, a mixed-use facility.
On the west side by a low-income apartment complex and newly constructed Little
League Fields. And the east side is bounded by Eleanor Street.
The area is generally flat and open with a major north-south drainageway which is an un-
named tributary of Bee Creek. This provides a natural division between park and
multifamily residential uses. Two other minor drainageways flow into this Bee Creek
tributary, segmenting the corridor into several areas.
Lincoln Center participation has experienced tremendous growth in the last several years.
In 2000, the center had 49,000 youth and adultsn
attending programs throughout the year.
2001, the overall participation grew .
to 67,600people The The number grow to just under
69,000 in 2002. This represents an increase users by about 29% in the past 3 years.
Overcrowding has become more of an on-going issue. Also, the number of programs
offered have increased more people.
At the direction of the City Council, and Parks & Recreation Advisory Board, the Parks
& Recreation Department began the process to update the original Lincoln Center/Wayne
Smith Park master Plan. This process beganin the summer of 2002. City staff
administered a survey and the results were compiled and used to prioritize the community
needs. Several different groups were surveyed including users of the Lincoln Recreation
Center, area churches,neighborhood residences, city departments, and concerned citizens.
This revised master plan for this community provides an update of land use and is
intended to enhance the quality of life for those who use W.A. Tarnow Park and Lincoln
Recreation Center facilities.
01Project/Lincoln—Tarrow Master Plan.doc 1 Rev. 2/25/2003
History
The Lincoln Center/Wayne Smith Park Master Plan was originally completed and
adopted in 1990. This ambitious plan linked the two municipal properties together in a
plan to provide additional park amenities to the neighborhood and community.
The plan received public input through surveys and public hearings. The Lincoln Center
Advisory Committee and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board also provided input.
The plan provided direction for staff to begin development with. clear goals in mind. The
function of the City property in the corridor was divided into theareas of neighborhood
use, social services, community use, and a fourth area that mixed neighborhood and
community use.
Acquisition of additional property was essential to the plan. This additional property
provided the required linkage and space foradditional park features requested by
participants in the planning process. The majority of the property to be acquired was
either vacant or substandard housing.
The adopted plan called for continuation of the neighborhood/community functions of the
Lincoln Recreation Center, extension of Eleanor Street to Montclair, addition of
neighborhood park features, addition of a youth baseball park, and installation of a social
services center on the east side of Eleanor Street. The youth baseball park was included
because, at one time, all youth baseball was played in the area until new facilities were
developed in Southwood Athletic Park. The survey respondents asked that youth baseball
return to this area so that it would be more accessible to the residents in the
neighborhood.
Also included in the plan was a new West District Maintenance Shop located in the
Southwest portion of the park.
Plan Implementation:
I. Beginning in the early 1990's thirty-one (31) separate pieces of property were
acquired to connect various portions of the park. The result was a single park
property of 21.26 acres. Much of the purchased property was cleared of brush and
debris and developed into open space.
II. Eleanor Street was extended in 1994 from MontclairtoThompson Street. This
provided better access to the park and added significant on-street parking
opportunities. Sidewalk improvements were also completed.
III. In 1994, a number of site improvements were made. These included drainage
improvements, sidewalks, bridges, and area lighting.
IV The Wayne Smith youth baseball fields were completed. in 1999. This project
included three (3) fields with a 200-space parking lot and a large
0:/Project/Lincoln—Tarrow Master Plan.doc 2 Rev. 2/25/2003
concession/restroom building. This is an excellent facility with high quality
fencing, turf, and drainage.
V. The new West District Maintenance Shop was completed in 2000. This 5,000
square foot building alleviated overcrowding and provides adequate storage space
for the West District's equipment. The completion of this facility allowed the
District's personnel to move from the old shop located adjacent to Inc Lincoln
Center. The completion also allowed planning for alternate uses of the old shop
site.
VI. Additional lighting and sidewalks were added in 2000.
VII. In the fall of 2002, new benches were installed as part of a city-wide effort to
make College Station parks more intergenerational.
VIII. In 2002, a 700 square foot entry space was added to the Lincoln Center to ease
overcrowding and patron movement during large events.
W.A. Tarrow Park
In 1998, the Lincoln-Wayne Smith Corridor was renamed A. Tarrow Park" in honor
of A. Tarrow, a Lincoln High School
principal. When the youth baseball fields were
completed in 1999, the baseball complexwas named the "Wayne Smith Youth Baseball
Fields", in honor of his efforts in establishing the first youth baseball fields in College
Station.
One-Stop Social Service Center
At the September 14, 2000 Council meeting, staff presented background information on a
One-Stop Social Service Center that had beenpreviously proposed. The project had been
proposed several years earlier, andat that time $150,000 of CDBG funding had been
allocated for future design/construction costs. Staff outlined potential project options and
requested Council direction. At that meeting, Council directed staff to further study the
need for such a facility. At the June 28, 2001 Council meeting, staff presented findings of
studies and surveys that were prepared toexplore the One-Stop issue. Based on those
findings, staff recommended to Council that the previously allocated funding be
reallocated to other public facility projects and that the City, instead, support ongoing
Information and Referral efforts in the community. Finally, those funds were reallocated
by Council at the August 9, 2001, to other public facility projects.

Data Collection
Many different sources were used in the collection of the data. Opinions and information
were solicited from both the private and public sectors to insure thoroughness. City staff
i ,
public officials, community groups, and individual citizens were all involved in the
process. Much of the technical information from the original 1990 study did not need to
be duplicated; however, it was reviewed as part of this process.
Both the Parks &Recreation Advisory Board and the Lincoln Recreation Center Staff
Advisory Committee were consulted for their input at meetings during the process.
from the Parks and Recreation Department and other city departments were interviewed
for the study.
All user groups of the Lincoln Recreation Center were polled during the survey toinsure
that no user group was left out of the process. The groups surveyed were area private
schools, area churches, former Lincoln School graduates, area residence, local neighbors,
educators, and the youth that attend the center. Several public hearings were held during
this process to collect additional input from interested citizens.

Priority List of Needs
2002 Lincoln/W.A, Tarrow Park Master Plan Survey
Priority List
Local community residents, area leaders, members of the Lincoln Former Students
Association, Concerned Black Men of the Brazos Valley and Lincoln Recreation Center
Advisory Committee reviewed the resultsoof the recent survey. This survey's purpose
was to gather community input addressing the needs of the community. This information
will help to identify capitol improvement
projects for the future. A public hearing was
held December 9, 2002 at 6:45 p.m. attheLincoln Recreation Center. A total of 28
citizens were in attendance. The group developed a list of potential improvements and
then prioritized them into the following list. The proposed list of ideas will be given
further attention in the development of the 2002-2003 Lincoln/W.A. Tarrow Park Master
Plan Update.
Prioritized list:
1. Multipurpose facility expansion to encompass low-income daycare needs, senior
program, auditorium (capacity 100-200) for civic and cultural programs and events,
class rooms for community eduction activities, exercise room with equipment and
showers/dressing area, and additional space for game room. Most in attendance were
thinking of expanding to the south of the current building. Participants stated that
future expansion on the south side of the existing complex could cause the
playground to be relocated to another area in Tarrow park. Most in attendance agreed
that available space on south side of Lincoln was acceptable.
2. Additional parking has been needed at the Center for many years. Current
programming causes parking congestion
on local streets in the neighborhood.
Participants stated that any expansion in the building would most likely cause parking
requirements to increase over current needs.
3. Improving the children's play area was given consideration based on future
expansion, anticipated usage, safety, and security. When relocation of the playground
is considered, shade for parents should be part on the plan.
4. Upgrading and covering the outdoor basketball court was recommended. With
the increased use of the gymnasium by
regular customers, Brazos Valley Boys and
Girls Club sports, private schools andCSPARD Athletics, there are times when
scheduling is a problem. Programming recreational activities for youth, coordinating
a variety of functions and special events take time away from many local users who
desire to use the gym. Spring and summertmonths bring about competition for gym
space. Being able to transfer activities oa covered play area would suffice and give
the staff the capacity to deliver services more effectively. During the summer as the
a/Project/Lincoln—Tarnow Master Plan.doe 13 Rev. 2/25/2003
program is at its maximum use inside the complex. Children do not have the option
to play in a safe area outside due to the heat. An outside covered area will give the
staff more flexibility in planning a diversity ofappropriate activities, easing
overcrowding in rooms, hosting special events, and give the public more overall court
time. The outdoor court is currently used seasonally
due to heat and cold extremes.
Special attention should be given to types of lighting and other utilities to maximize
use.
5. Splash/water playground/swimming pool. Swimming is a favorite activity by many
of the respondents who completed thesurvey.
After discussion the group favored a
splash/water playground over a swimming pool because of cost, difficulty in securing
funding, intergenerational appeal, safety, and security. Design elements of a
splash/water playground might lend itself to other potential uses during the off-season
for youth and community activities.
01Project/Lincoln—Tarrow Master Plan.doe 14 Rev. 2/25/2003
Implementation Plan
This plan is the result of a critical analysis and review of the Master Plan that was
originally developed in 1990. After careful review of the survey results and priority list,
staff looked at the different options for placement of the new and upgraded facilities.
Much care was incorporated into the process to insure the community wishes were
addressed, as well as, the preservation of the existing athletic fields.
At a public meeting on December 9, 2002 a list of priorities was made. The item
identified as the #1 priority was more building space for activitiesat Lincoln Center.
Staff feels that this could be implemented in two phases. First with the addition to the
existing building; and second with construction of a second building.miTnhge. first addition
should include shower/ dressing rooms and room for youth programming. And the
second building should accommodatebrooms for senior programming and a largeity
multipurpose room that can e divided into smaller rooms for youth/ community
programming. Most in attendance at the public hearing agreed thatavailable space on
south side of Lincoln Center is an acceptable location for the building.
The second listed priority from the public hearing was additional parking. Thiswould
have to be included with any building extension or addition. Thesoccer practice field
west of the Lincoln gym was a high priority to preserve as a playing surface. Also, due to
historical significance, the two buildings that are the only original structures left from the
Lincoln School are important to the. ommunity. The community wants to explore ideas
forpreservunitnigi athatiateprdortaitoe.nof their history, and want to reserve the decision on those
building
Placement of each component, as recommended, is to maximize the land use and future
operation of the facilities. The playground south of Lincoln Recreation Center is nearing
the end of its life expectancy. The community has asked that it be relocated to the north
side of the building nearthe gym and parking area. It is recommended to remove the
current playground and install a new playground north of the gym near the parking lot.
Due to the underground drainage culverts that bisects the property, there are some
limitations to what can be constructed over the culverts. Parking is an allowable activity
and it is recommended to place the parking over it. It was felt thatthfeorcovered basketball
court would fit best in the corner of the parking lot. This will allowgreater"line-of-
sight." supervision from the center.. It also places it in close proximate to the center for
multi use of that structure including youth programming and activities, dance practice,
etc.
A water structure was incorporated in to the plan as requested by the community. The
P
placement of that zero depth unit was the most difficult tolocate. Staff wanted it to be inahighly visible space with easy access to the users. It was determined that clustering it
with the other outdoor facilities would best serve all involved as well as detour
vandalism.
01Project/Lincoln—Tarrow Master Plan.doc 15 Rev. 2/2512003
Implementation of this plan is recommended to be accomplished in a multi year
approach. Funding availability will determine in any decision to proceed. Multiple
funding sources might be the best way to achieve successful completion of these
proposed improvements.

Introduction
The W.A. Tarnow Park Corridor (formerly Lincoln Center & Wayne Smith Park) is
located on the west side of the City of College Station, approximately one half mile south
of Texas A&M University. It is in the heart of a low-to-moderate income area.
The corridor area is anchored on
the north by a girl's softball field and adjacent
playground equipment at the intersection
tion of Park Place and Fairview. On the south is
bounded by Holleman Drive next to the Lincoln Recreation Center, a mixed-use facility.
On the west side by a low-income apartment complex and newly constructed Little
League Fields. And the east side is bounded by Eleanor Street.
The area is generally flat and open with
a major north-south-south drainageway which is an un-
named tributary of Bee Creek. This provides a natural division between park and
multifamily residential uses. Two other
er minor drainageways flow into this Bee Creek
tributary, segmenting the corridor into several areas.
Lincoln Center participation has experienced tremendous growth in the last several years.
hi 2000, the center had 49,000 youthand7,6aduoolts attending programs throughout the year.
2001, the overall participation grew 6
.to . people. The number grow to just under
69,000 in 2002. This represents an increase in users by about 29% in the past 3 years.
Overcrowding has become more of an on-going issue. Also, the number of programs
offered have increased more people.
At the direction of the City Council, and Parks & Recreation Advisory Board, the Parks
& Recreation Department began the process to update the original Lincoln Center/Wayne
Smith Park master plan. This process beganin the summer of 2002. City staff
administered a survey and the results were compiled and used to prioritize the community
needs. Several different groups were surveyed. including users of the Lincoln Recreation
Center, area churches,neighborhood residences,
ences, city departments, and concerned citizens.
This revised master plan for this community provides an update of land use and is
intended to enhance the quality of life for those who use W.A. Tarnow Park and Lincoln
Recreation Center facilities.
01Project/Lineoln—Tarrow Master Plan.doe 1 Rev. 2/25/2003
History
The Lincoln Center/Wayne SmithPark Master Plan was originally completed and
adopted in 1990. This ambitious plan
anlinked the two municipal properties together in a
plan to provide additional park amenities to the neighborhood and community.
The plan received public input through surveysinput.
The
public hearings. The LincolnCenter
Advisory Committee and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board also provided
The plan provided direction for staff to begin development with clear goals in mind. The
function of the City property in the corridor was divided into the areas of neighborhood
use, social services, community use, and a fourth area that mixed neighborhood and
community use.
Acquisition of additional property was essential to the plan. This additional property
provided the required linkage andspace for additional park features requested by
participants in the planning process. The majority of the property to be acquired was
either vacant or substandard housing.
The adopted plan called for continuation of the neighborhood/community functions of the
Lincoln Recreation Center, extension of Eleanor Street to Montclair, addition of
neighborhood park features, addition of a youth baseball park, and installation of a social
services center on the east side of Eleanor Street. The youth baseball park was included
because, at one time, all youth baseball was played in the area until new facilities were
developed in Southwood Athletic Park. The survey respondents asked that youth baseball
return to this area so that it would be more accessible to the residents in the
neighborhood.
Also included in the plan was a new West District Maintenance Shop located in the
Southwest portion of the park.
Plan Implementation:
L Beginning in the early 1990's thirty-one (31) separate pieces of property were
acquired to connect various portions of the park. The result was a single park
property of 21.26 acres. Much of the purchased property was cleared of brush and
debris and developed into open space.
IL Eleanor Street was extended in 1994 from Montclair to Thompson Street. This
provided better access to the park and added significant on-street parking
opportunities. Sidewalk improvements were also completed.
III. In 1994, a number of site improvements were made. These included drainage
improvements, sidewalks,
s, bridges, and area lighting.
IV. The Wayne Smith youth baseballfields were completed in 1999. This project
included three (3) fields with a 200-space parking lot and a large
0/Projeet/Lincoln—Tarrow Master Plan.doe 2 Rev. 212512003
concession/restroom building. This is an excellent facility with high quality
fencing, turf, and drainage.
V. The new West District Maintenance Shop was completed in 2000. This 5,000
square foot building alleviated overcrowding and provides adequate storage space
for the West District's equipment. The completion of this facility allowed the
District's personnel to move from the old shop located adjacent to the Lincoln
Center. The completion also allowed planning for alternate uses of the old shop
site.
VI. Additional lighting and sidewalks were added in 2000.
VII. In the fall of 2002, new benches were installed as part of a city-wide effort to
make College Station parks more intergenerational.
VIII. In 2002, a 700 square foot entry space wasadded to the Lincoln Center to ease
overcrowding and patron movement during large events.
WA. Tarrow Park
In 1998, the Lincoln-Wayne Smith Corridor was.. renamed "W.A. Tarrow Park" in honor
of W.A. Tarrow, a Lincoln High School principal. When the youth baseball fields were
completed in 1999, the baseball complexwas named the "Wayne Smith Youth Baseball
Fields", in honor of his efforts in establishing the first youth baseball fields in College
Station.
oneStop Social Service Center
At the September 14, 2000 Council meeting, staff presented background information on a
One-Stop Social Service Center that had beenpreviously proposed. The project had been
proposed several years earlier, andat that time $150,000 of CDBG funding had been
allocated for future design/construction costs. Staff outlined potential project options and
requested Council direction. At that meeting, Council directed staff to further study the
need for such a facility. At the June 28, 2001 Council meeting, staff presented findings of
studies and surveys that were prepared toexplore the One-Stop issue. Based on those
findings, staff recommended to Council that the previously allocated funding be
reallocated to other public facility projects and that the City, instead, support ongoing
Information and Referral efforts in the community.
Finally, those funds were reallocated
by Council at the August 9, 2001, to other public facility projects.
01Project/Lineoln—Tarrow Master Plan.doc 3 Rev. 2/25/2003
Goals and Objectives
The original Lincoln Center/Wayne Smith Master Plan was completed in 1990. Mucho

Data Collection
Many different sources were used in the collection of the data. Opinions and information
were solicited from both the private and public sectors to insure thoroughness. City staff,
public officials, community groups, and individual citizens were all involved in the
process. Much of the technical information from the original 1990 study did not need to
be duplicated; however, it was reviewed as part of this process.
Both the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board and the Lincoln Recreation Center
Advisory Committee were consulted for their input at meetings during the process. Staff
interviewed
forthe Parks and Recreation Department and other city departments were
for the study.
All user groups of the Lincoln Recreation Center were polled during the survey toinsure
that no user group was left out of the process. The groups surveyed were area private
schools, area churches, former Lincoln School graduates, area residence, local neighbors,
educators, and the youth that attend the center. Several public hearings were held during
this process to collect additional input from interested citizens.

Priority List of Needs
2002 Lincoln/W.A, Tarrow Park Master Plan Survey
Priority List
Local community residents, area leaders, members of the Lincoln Former Students
Association, Concerned Black Men of the Brazos Valley and Lincoln Recreation Center
Advisory Committee reviewed the results of the recent survey. This survey's purpose
was to gather community input. addressing the needs of the community. This information
will help to identify capitol improvement A
.vement projects for the future. public hearing was
held December 9, 2002 at 6:45 pe m. at the Lincoln Recreation Center. A total of 28
Th
citizens were in attendance. group developed a list of potential improvements and
i
then prioritized them into the following list. The proposed list of ideaswill be given
further attention in the development of the 2002-2003 Lincoln/W.A. Tarrow Park Master
Plan Update.
Prioritized list:
1. Multipurpose facility expansion to encompass low-income daycare needs, senior
program, auditorium(caacity 100-200) for civic and cultural programs and events,
class rooms for communPY
it education activities, exercroom with roowit.h equipment and
showers/dressing area, andadditional space for game room. Most m attendance were
thinking of expanding to the south of the current building. PP
rtici ants stated that
future expansion on the south side of the existing complex couldacause the
playground to be relocated to another area in Tarrow park. Most in attendance agreed
that available space on south side of Lincoln was acceptable.
2. Additional parking has been needed at the Center for many years. Current
programming causes parking congestioni
on local streets in the neighborhood.
Participants stated that any expansion n the building would most likely cause parking
requirements to increase over current needs.
3. Improving the children's play area was given consideration based on future
expansion, anticipated usage, safety, andsecurity. When relocation of the playground
is considered, shade for parents shouldbe part on the plan.
4. Upgrading and covering the outdoor basketball court was recommended. With
the increased use of the gymnasium by regular customers, Brazos Valley Boys and
Girls Club sports, private schools and CSPARD Athletics, there are times when
scheduling is a problem. Programming recreational. activities for youth, coordinating
a variety of functions and .special events take time away. from many local users who
desire to use the gym. and summer months bring about competition for gym
ace. Being able to traSnpsrfellrgactivitie.s to a covered play area .would suffice and give
thespstaff the capacity to deliver services more effectively. During the summer as the
01Project/Lincoln—Tarrow Master Plan.doc 13 Rev. 2125/2003
program is at its maximum use inside the complex. Children do not have the option
to play in a safe area outside due to the heat. An outside covered area will give the
staff more flexibility in planning a diversity of appropriate activities, easing
overcrowding in rooms, hosting special events, and give the public more overall court
time. The outdoor court is currently used seasonally due to heat and cold extremes.
Special attention should be given to types of lighting and other utilities to maximize
use.
5. Splash/water playground/swimming pool. Swimming is a favorite activity by many
of the respondents who completed the survey. After discussion the group favored a
splash/water playground over a swimming pool because of cost, difficulty in securing
funding, intergenerational appeal, safety, and security. Design elements of a
splash/water playground might lend itself to other potential uses during the off-season
for youth and community activities.
a/Project/Lincolit—Tarrow Master Plan.doe 14 Rev. 2/25/2003
Implementation Plan
This plan is the result of a critical analysis and review of the Master Plan that was
originally developed in 1990. After careful review of the survey results and priority list,
staff looked at the different options for placement of the new and upgraded facilities.
Much care was incorporated into the process to insure the community wishes were
addressed, as well as, the preservation of the existing athletic fields. .
At a public meeting on December 9, 2002. a list of priorities was made. The item
identified as the #1 priority was more building space for activities. at Lincoln. .Center.
Staff feels that this could be implemented in two phases. First with the addition to the
existing building; and second with construction of a second building. iTnhge. first addition
should include shower/dressing rooms and room for youth programming. And the
second building should accommodatebrooms for senior programming and a large
multipurpose room that can e divided into smaller rooms for youth/community
programming. Most in attendance at the public hearing agreed thatavailable space on
south side of Lincoln Center is an acceptable location for the building.
The second listed priority from the public hearing was additional parking. This would
have to be included with any building extension or addition. The soccer practice field
west of the Lincolna high priority to p
reserve as a playing surface. Also, due to
historical significancg
eY1was:1-tihe tw
two buildings that are the only original structures left from the
Lincoln School are important to the community. T
he community wants to explore ideas
for preserving that portion of their history, and want to reserve the decision on those
building until a later date.
Placement of each component, as recommended, is to maximize the land use and future
operation of the facilities. The playground south of Lincoln Recreation Center is nearing
the end of its life expectancy. The community has asked that it be relocated to the north
side of the building near.the gym and parking area. It is recommended to remove the
current playground and install a new playground north of the gym near the parking lot.
Due to the underground drainage culverts that bisects the property, there are some
limitations to what can be constructed over the culverts. Parking is an allowable activity
and it is recommended to place the parking over it. It was felt that the covered basketball
court would fit best in the corner of the parking lot. This will allow for greater "line-of
-
sight" supervision from the center. It also places it in close proximate to the center for
multi use of that structure including youth programming and activities, dance practice,
etc.
A water structure was incorporated in to the plan as requested by the community. The
placement of that zero depth unit was the most difficult to locate. Staff wanted it to be
highly visible space with easy access to the users. It was determined that clustering it
in
a
withthe other outdoor facilities would best serve all involved as well as detour
vandalism.

Implementation of this plan is recommended to be accomplished in a multi year
approach. Funding availability will determine in any decision to proceed. Multiple
funding sources might be the best way to achieve successful completion of these
proposed improvements.
