The City has recently had several inquiries about plans for the large tract of undeveloped land off Harwood Road, just west of Kroger. The property, which includes the Meadow Park Athletic Complex and the City’s Bark Park, is owned by Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD.
City staff has confirmed the school district does plan to sell the 57-acre property, which the district purchased in 1969. However, there is no set time as to when that property may be put up for sale due to other district priority projects and initiatives.
Knowing the school district’s intention to sell this property, the City has already started exploring new locations for a future dog park. The City plans to continue leasing the Bark Park land from the district until the land is sold. Future dog park locations or plans have not been finalized at this time.
The Meadow Park Athletic Complex property is maintained (mowed) by the City through an interlocal agreement with HEB ISD. However, the Meadow Park athletic fields are operated and managed by third parties.
When the land is sold, any future developer will need to go through the City of Bedford development process. This will include approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council of any proposed zoning changes, site plans, etc.
For inquiries about the Meadow Park property, please send an email to HEB ISD Deputy Superintendent of Business Operations at DobieWilliams@hebisd.edu.
