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.
