RFP 2026-003 Henderson Park Master Plan

EXHIBIT A – SCOPE OF WORK

PURPOSE/BACKGROUND

The City of Tucker is well known for its extensive and varied park system and robust

recreation programs for youth and adults. Its park system includes 14 park sites that total

approximately 293.1 acres. The crown jewel of this park system is the centrally located

Henderson Park, which offers an array of both passive and active recreational

opportunities.

Henderson Park is the largest of the 14 parks, at approximately 120 acres, and it is situated

entirely in a residential area with two vehicular access points and several pedestrian access

points. Lake Erin divides the park into two separate sides with a pedestrian trail connecting

them. The west side includes a community garden, restroom building, access to walking

trails, 2 playgrounds, 2 small pavilions, a restroom/concession building, 2 large athletic

fields (soccer), 1 small athletic field (soccer), 2 small parking lots, and 1 large parking lot.

The east side includes water access to Lake Erin, an observation deck/fishing pier, a dog

park, 1 playground, 4 tennis courts which have recently been striped to allow for pickleball

play as well, 1 restroom building, water fountain, 1 large athletic field that is used for soccer

(TYSA), access to walking trails, and 3 small parking lots. A waterfall is located on south

side of the park.

The city is currently completing the repair of the Lake Erin dam within Henderson Park,

which had been identified as a Category 1 dam. This project, which should be complete by

the Spring of 2026, includes a new outlet structure, spillway, and dam to comply with the

Environmental Protection Division’s Safe Dams requirements. In order to complete the

construction project, the playground and large pavilion on the east side of the lake had to

be removed, leaving an opportunity to reimagine this portion of the park. This initiative,

combined with the community’s desire for more active park space, led the city to release

this request for proposals to create a community driven master plan for the entire park.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES (INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO):

• Analyze existing plans and studies.

• Evaluate existing uses and natural features within Henderson Park.

• Identify options for enhanced aesthetics and functionality of the park.

• Identify options for underutilized portions of the park.

• Identify options for additional parking.

• Identify options for additional pedestrian connectivity in and around the park.
