Description/History
The Mansfield Park Facilities Development Corporation’s (MPFDC) 2009 Parks, Recreation, Trails and Open Spaces Master plan approved by the MPFDC and City Council in January of 2010 included the continued need for a community park in the northeast quadrant of the City, Clayton W. Chandler Park formerly North Park is one of Mansfield’s oldest parks being acquired in 1975. The first phase renovation of Chandler Park began in May of 2003 and included a new restroom/concession/announcer’s area, two new football fields with lights, four new t-ball fields, entry/drop off area, accessible parking, pavilion, landscaping, irrigation and fencing.
