Agenda Item

Discuss and take appropriate action on small cities park request for community of Walburg.

Background

The Walburg community through its Walburg Community Center is requesting assistance from the county's Small Cities Park Fund to create and construct a playscape and recreational area in the community. The Walburg Community Center Association is coordinating the project. The request is for $25,000 to assist in purchasing play equipment and appurtenances.

The playground will be located on property owned by the Community Center (which is close to the town center near the Dale's Essenhouse restaurant). As a match the community has raised and has cash on hand of $14,550 and has additional pledges of $7100. In addition a $5000 Texas Parks and Wildlife Grant is anticipated. The current cost of the playground equipment is $23,776. With site preparation and improvements the total cost is projected to be approximately $40,000. The community's match for this receational area is 54% not including the TPWD grant.
