City officials update on Eagle Landing Park and Primrose Park construction progress

The Fulshear Parks & Recreation Commission convened on July 11, 2025, to discuss ongoing projects and future plans for local parks. The meeting began with a review of the Artbox project, which has been in development for four years. Members expressed a desire to move forward with the current artwork installation while considering potential changes to the contract for future iterations. The importance of ensuring artists can reuse their work was emphasized, with a consensus on the need for proactive measures in future public engagements.

Next, the commission received updates on Eagle Landing Park. Tiffany reported that while she had limited updates due to her recent vacation, significant progress had been made. The electrical service has been established, and the irrigation system is being tested. However, weather conditions have caused delays, and while construction completion is anticipated in July, playable fields may take longer. A grand opening is planned, but the date remains uncertain until further progress is confirmed.

The maintenance of the fields was clarified, with the city taking primary responsibility, although some aspects will be managed by HTX, the organization with rental priority for sports associations.

The commission then moved on to discuss Primrose Park, where the first round of concrete for the driveway was poured, and irrigation installation is underway. The status of the Automated External Defibrillator (AED) initiative was also addressed. An agreement with the fire department is in legal review, and once approved, it may require city council approval. The AED location at Eagle Landing has been identified, and preparations for installation will proceed once construction is complete.

Further discussions included the configuration of baseball fields, with clarification on which fields will have bullpens. The commission is also awaiting quotes for batting cages, with a preference for obtaining pricing from the current contractor to streamline the process.

In conclusion, the meeting highlighted significant progress on various park projects, with a focus on timely completion and proactive planning for future developments. The commission remains committed to enhancing community recreational facilities while ensuring safety measures are in place.
