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.
