Bicentennial Park recognized

The city celebrated the grand opening of Phase I of Bicentennial Park in September. In April the park was honored with a Merit Award for its design from the American Society of Landscape Architects, Texas chapter.

The park was judged on its functionality, quality of design, environmental responsibility and relevance to the environment, public and the landscape architecture industry.

Bicentennial Park includes six new tennis courts, four new baseball fields, trails and concession stands. Construction for Phase II is anticipated to start in August.
