BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In February 2024, the NBEDC approved a project expenditure of $8 million for the purchase of 130 acres in northwest New Braunfels to be used for future park space within the New Braunfels Parks System. City Council approved the project expenditure on February 12, 2024. The 2017 Parks and Recreation Master Plan supported acquisition of additional parkland to maintain and grow level of service and parkland targets. The site’s mix of developable acreage and wooded land supports both active recreation and trail/conservation potential, aligning with the systemwide need to expand capacity and amenities as New Braunfels grows.
This presentation will provide an update on recent master planning efforts and next steps for the property.
