The gist
At a Jan. 28 meeting, Fulshear City Council approved HTX Soccer, a nonprofit youth soccer association, as the recognized sports association partner for the soon-to-be-opened $4.69 million Eagle Landing Park. The agreement will last for two years, according to agenda documents.
Eagle Landing Park, located at 4131 Woods Road, will feature full- and youth-size soccer fields, playground equipment, a covered patio area, restroom and concession facilities, and a parking lot. The park is expected to be completed this summer, according to agenda documents.
A closer look
According to agenda documents, HTX Soccer will have priority scheduling of the fields and will be responsible for:
- Operating its recreational and competitive leagues, including two to three local or regional annual tournaments
- Field maintenance such as mowing, line painting and waste management
- Operating the concession stands
What else?
The council also approved submitting a grant application for Texas Parks and Wildlife’s Recreational Trails grant, which would be used to fund a new trail in Fulshear’s planned Downtown District.
According to agenda documents, potential trail amenities include:
- Trail-side and trail-head facilities
- Benches
- Lighting
- Exhibitions and educational markers dedicated to Fulshear’s history
If awarded, the city could receive up to $300,000 and will be required to provide a $75,000 match, according to agenda documents. The goal is for the trail to be completed by the fall of 2026.
