What residents need to know
The 26-acre park, located at 4131 Woods Road, broke ground in March 2024 and features a variety of amenities, including:
- Soccer fields
- A concession area with a pavilion
- A playground
- Walking trails
The park’s final construction cost came in at $5.18 million, up from the initial $4.69 million projection, Fulshear Public Works Director Cliff Brouhard said.
What’s in a name?
Kimberly Bow, co-chair of the city's parks and recreation commission, previously said city officials wanted to honor the park's history with its name and by including eagle references throughout the park.
“Everyone wanted to reflect our culture community and make this a unique park, something that people can enjoy for generations to come,” Bow said. “This land here that we are on used to be rice fields, and many birds used to land here. When we had discussions about the name in the park, we wanted to recognize the past and pay homage to it.”
What else?
The park will also be home to a youth soccer league, hosted by nonprofit HTX Soccer, which will have priority scheduling of the fields and will be responsible for:
- Operation of its recreational and competitive leagues, including two to three local or regional annual tournaments
- Field maintenance such as mowing, line painting and waste management
- Operation of the concession stands
