BRENHAM PARKS AND REC BOARD TO HEAR UPDATE ON BRENHAM FAMILY PARK
The Brenham Parks and Recreation Advisory Board will meet Wednesday to hear a progress report on the Brenham Family Park.
Board members will hold discussion and receive an update on the park’s design and construction. They will also hear an update on other Parks and Recreation projects funded in the current fiscal year, and will receive a presentation on project funding in the upcoming fiscal year from the Brenham Community Development Corporation (BCDC).
On Thursday, the Brenham City Council approved a professional services agreement with Jones-Carter Engineering for the first phase of development at the Brenham Family Park. The engineering firm will assist with environmental reports, design decisions, amenity locations, bidding services and construction services for the first phase of the approximately 100-acre park project.
Features identified in Phase 1(a) of the park, which could begin construction this summer, include a one-mile concrete walking and biking trail, a lake or detention pond over four acres in size, parking, restrooms, trail lighting and playscapes.
The board will also hear a presentation on the Brenham Pickleball League, along with staff updates. It will also introduce new board members and potentially elect a chair and vice chair on the board for a one-year term.
The board will meet Wednesday at noon in the All Sports Building at Hohlt Park.
