KLCB Proposes Goodman Park as a Chip & Snip Community Pet Clinic Site for Lake Como
Keep Lake Como Beautiful has submitted a formal proposal asking the City of Fort Worth to consider Goodman Park as a Lake Como activation site for the Chip & Snip Community Pet Clinic.
The City describes Chip & Snip as a mobile community pet clinic that travels into Fort Worth neighborhoods to provide free spay/neuter surgeries and vaccinations. The program is designed to support healthier pets, reduce overpopulation, reduce stray animals, remove financial barriers for families, and help residents comply with Fort Worth’s mandatory spay-and-neuter ordinance.
That kind of mobile service belongs in Lake Como.
But this proposal is bigger than one clinic date.
It is also about how Goodman Park can function as a trusted neighborhood service hub.
Why Goodman Park?
Goodman Park is not just an available patch of land. It is part of Lake Como’s civic story.
Located at 5413 Goodman Ave., Goodman Park has been part of the neighborhood since its dedication in 1967. Originally named Como Mini Park and later renamed Goodman Park in 1970, the space was created as a non-discriminatory recreational area for community enrichment.
Over time, the park became dormant after concerns about safety and activity in the area led to the removal of amenities. That history is exactly why the Goodman Park Revival matters.
KLCB’s position is simple: Goodman Park should not remain a symbol of unmet potential. It should become a visible example of what resident-led revitalization can look like when community voice, service delivery, greening, and accountability work together.
What KLCB proposed
KLCB asked the City to consider Goodman Park as a recurring or periodic activation site for Chip & Snip and offered support with:
Neighborhood outreach
Volunteer support
Resident reminders
QR-based signups and information sharing
The Pride newsletter promotion
Social media updates
Goodman Park Revival updates
Post-event follow-up
This is not a request for the City to create a special program just for Lake Como. It is a proposal to help the City deliver an existing program effectively in a neighborhood where access, trust, cost, transportation, and information gaps matter.
Why this matters
KLCB is building a different kind of community infrastructure.
We are not waiting until dates are posted and then hoping Lake Como is included.
We are making the case early, clearly, and publicly.
The quiet strategy is simple: do not frame Lake Como as a neighborhood asking to be remembered. Frame KLCB as the partner bringing the organized outreach, volunteers, trust, and site logic that makes Lake Como a smart first-round stop.
That is how we move differently.
Residents can help now
While this proposal moves forward, residents can also support the Goodman Park Revival by completing and sharing the Goodman Park survey.
Every completed survey helps document what residents want, what families need, and how Goodman Park can serve the neighborhood again.
Goodman Park can be more than a dormant space.
It can be a place where Lake Como gathers, receives services, builds trust, and sees visible follow-through.
Start small. Stay consistent. Build block pride.
