The $25.7 million project was included in Proposition 2 of the city's 2019 bond and will utilize $15 million in funding from the New Braunfels Economic Development Corp.
Currently in its final phase of design, the complex will include sports fields, concessions, restrooms, native landscaping and parking. Construction is projected to begin in late 2021.
Construction of Phase 1 of the project is expected to take approximately 18-24 months and be complete in 2023.
According to Parks & Recreation Director Stacey Dicke, the TPWC grant will be utilized to add a playground, bird blinds, additional shade structures and more to the sports park.
A total of 30 community parks throughout Texas received similar grant funding to create and enhance outdoor recreational opportunities.
