But residents said the money should go to repairing and improving the park\u2019s existing amenities.<\/p>\n<p>They suggested removing an unused baseball backstop and deteriorated volleyball posts, replacing or repairing rusted picnic tables and park furnishings, repainting aging structures, and installing shade canopies over the playground.<\/p>\n<p>The city staff said the parks department would revise the design proposal based on the feedback and organize a follow-up meeting with city representatives and residents.<\/p>\n<p>Titus Paulsel Park Public Meeting<\/p>\n<p>Documenter: Nicole Bomar<\/p>\n<p>Date: July 20, 2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learn more about this meeting by clicking <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortworthtexas.gov\/departments\/parks\/events\/meetings-and-projects\/titus-paulsel-public-meeting-1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nicole Bomar is a member of the <a href=\"https:\/\/fortworthreport.org\/documenters\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fort Worth Report Documenters<\/a> crew. \u00a0If you believe anything in these notes is inaccurate, please email us at <a href=\"https:\/\/fortworthreport.org\/2026\/08\/08\/residents-send-fort-worths-titus-paulsel-park-plan-back-to-the-drawing-board\/mailto:scott.nishimura@fortworthreport.org\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">news@fortworthreport.org<\/a> with &#8220;Correction Request&#8221;
