Rain hampers plan for park opening
Flooding of College Stat ion recreation
site stalls completion of V f Pen Creek
By NATALIE GIEHL
The Battalion
Recent flooding from heavy
rains has delayed completion of
the long-awaited Wolf Pen Creek
Park in College Station.
Stephen Beachy, director of
Parks and Recreation for the City
of College Station, said the site for
the park was extremely sensitive
to the recent rains because of its
location on a flood plain. "The
weather has certainly hampered
the completion of the project,"
Beachy said.
After construction is complet
ed, Beachy said any problems
caused by future rains should be
minimized, and the park will re
quire only a basic cleaning-up of
debris.
The park will feature an out
door amphitheater which seats
5,000 spectators and holds up to
100 musicians or performers on
the stage. The amphitheater will
be surrounded by a man-made
lake, concrete trails, pedestrian
bridges across the lake, a play
ground, restrooms and a picnic
shelter.
Beachy said the amphitheater
was designed to withstand in
clement weather.
T’ ^es:gn includes concrete
and o -ry with all electrical
system^ located above the maxi
mum flood level.
Beachy hopes the park will be
ready for its grand opening date
of April 2. If not, the park should
open in May.
The city has already scheduled
events for this spring in the new
amphitheater. Program Supervi
sor Sheila Walker said the only
problem the city has encountered
is setting a completion date.
"We don't want to let it sit un
used for two months while we
wait for a grand opening," she
said.
Walker said the city has
planned many events for this
spring, provided weather cooper
ates. The College Station Jazz Fes
tival is scheduled April 24. Also,
the Children's Movie series, local
and regional talent showcases, as
well as a possible Shakespeare se
ries are planned.
"We do have a big population
of interest and we try to do some
things that are good for them,"
Walker said.
The majority of funds for the
project came from the City of Col
lege Station. The park was first
proposed in March of 1987.
