The long-awaited Zipp Family Sports Park, located at the corner of Klein Road and FM 1044, has received an additional $3.5 million in funding from the New Braunfels Economic Development Corporation as it nears its groundbreaking this fall following City Council action Aug. 14.
The background
The city purchased the land for the sports park through the 2013 bond, according to a presentation by assistant city manager Jordan Matney, followed by a legacy donation of 25 acres from the Zipp family.
The initial budget of the project was set at $25.7 million, including:
- $10.7 million provided through the voter approved 2019 bond
- $15 million committed by the NBEDC
