Council looks at sites or park construction THE BATTALION Page 3 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1978 - By JEANNE LOPEZ Acquisition of approximately 143 es of College Station as park land s suggested to the City Council pital Improvements Committee inday night. Lou Hodges, chairman of the Col- Station Parks and Recreation lommittee presented to the im- rovements group a proposed list of [e acquisitions and estimated costs ideveloping some of the land. |‘We place a high emphasis on id acquisition now because of the ing price of land,” said Hodges. A proposed 50-acre athletic com ix in the southeast section of Col- ige Station took top priority on the st. The area, known as the Golden ln Bangle, is bounded by Texas Av- nue, Highway 30, and the High- ay 6 east bypass. The land would be purchased for pproximately $375,000. Develop- Int of the complex, which would llude several fields for baseball, it rent end San a on he the icul- ergy football, and soccer, would cost an estimated $300,000. Another 50 acre-athletic complex was proposed for the southeast sec tion beyond the current Southwood Valley area at an $250,000. A recreation center and neighborhood park is planned for a proposed 15 acres located northeast of College Station. The area is bounded by Highway 60, Highway 6, Highway 30, and the east bypass. The recreation center will be de veloped in three to five years de pending on money available to the Parks and Recreation Department. The center would contain a gym nasium, and assembly and meeting rooms for arts and crafts classes and workshops. Construction of the cen ter is was estimated at $225,000. Other suggested acquisitions in cluded the 14-acre Holik tract park site for $200,000. It is located south of the Dexter Drive and Holleman Drive intersection. A neighborhood park site of 10 to 15 acres of land is being sought for acquisition in the Southwood Valley area at the cost of $150,000. Com mittee members wall meet next Monday to make final decisions on all the capital improvements they have reviewed since last month. They then will compile priority pro posals into a brochure lor voters to view two weeks prior to the spring bond election. A park construction progress re port was given by Paul Woj- ciechowski, director of the Parks and Recreation Department. Wayne Smith Park improvements will be completed prior to April 1, 1978. Anderson Park and Oaks Park- will be completed by this summer. The Thomas Park pool and tennis courts will be completed by May 1979. The completion date for the Bee Creek park improvements has not been determined.
