Round Rock residents may soon have a new city-owned archery facility near Mayfield Ranch.
What you need to know
A contract to build the first phase of both static and 3D archery facilities at Mayfield Park is under consideration by the Round Rock City Council. With a price tag of $190,559, the first phase would be funded by the city's general self-financed construction budget and park improvement and acquisition fund, city documents show. The contract would be with TerraSol LLC.
The details
The project's scope includes constructing a gravel parking lot, grading associated with the archery lanes, and an accessible parking space and accessible route to both the static and 3D archery lanes.
Parks & Recreation Director Rick Atkins said in a May 12 packet briefing the 3D range will include a walking path through a wooded area, and the facility itself will be accessible with mobile technology. Residents will bring their own equipment, he said, and will likely need to purchase an annual use permit for each person entering it.
Park rangers will monitor the area's use, he said.
What they're saying
"This is going to be a very popular range in our inventory, and we're excited to get started on this project," Atkins said.
What's next?
Council will consider the measure at its May 14 meeting, to be held at 6 p.m. at Round Rock City Hall, 221 E. Main St., Round Rock. More information about meeting norms, Council functions and instructions for signing up to speak at the meeting is available at www.roundrocktexas.gov/city-about-round-rock/city-council.
