Commercial-grade furniture for a city project under construction in Round Rock is on the City Council's agenda for May 14.
Current situation
City officials will consider a $960,999 contract to furnish the future Athletic Performance Center in Old Settler's Park. Round Rock Parks & Recreation Director Rick Atkins said in a May 12 packet briefing that the center is expected to staff 17 to 19 additional city employees, and relocate about 50 existing Parks & Recreation Department employees from the city's McConico building downtown.
About the project
The project was included in the city's 2023 bond package, and was planned to cost about $91.1 million to build, according to the city.
Construction on the Athletic Performance Center, part of the park’s recreation center complex, began in summer 2025 and is anticipated to be finished in spring 2027, city documents show. The facility is planned to include an indoor gym, an outdoor track and multipurpose fields, along with additional parking and administrative space for the Parks and Recreation Department.
What's next?
The purchase from Facility Resource Inc. is on agenda for consideration by the Round Rock City Council. More information about the council, meeting norms and instructions for signing up to speak at the meeting are available at www.roundrocktexas.gov/city-about-round-rock/city-council.
