BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Texas Recreation and Park Society held their annual meeting and awards ceremony on March 10, 2021. The Parks and Recreation Department received the 2021 Planning Excellence Award for the Dry Comal Creek Greenway Master Plan.
The Planning Excellence Award recognizes one planning project which displays a high degree of professional analysis, quality planning principles and organizational or city/county/statewide value. It is also meant to encourage and expand the cooperation between planning consultants and parks and recreation professionals.
The Dry Comal Creek Greenway Master Plan was a technical assistance project supported by the U.S. National Park Service through the Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program.
The Dry Comal Creek Greenway Master Plan created a plan to connect the existing Dry Comal Creek Nature Trail toward downtown New Braunfels and Landa Park and to the south toward older underserved neighborhoods and parks. This Master Plan was intended to set forth a clear vision for a future phased development of the Dry Comal Creek Greenway in New Braunfels.
Accepting the award are Ylda Capriccioso, City of New Braunfels Park Development Manager, and Marta Newkirk De La Garza, National Park Service Community Planner.
