Fulshear Parks and Recreation Board members discussed who will maintain the new athletic fields and how organized youth play will be assigned on Oct. 10. Board members said the city should solicit professional field-maintenance proposals immediately while local groups organize.

Board discussion and rationale
- Interim maintenance: Members agreed to begin a solicitation/RFP for field maintenance to ensure new turf and irrigation receive professional care during the startup period. Board members said a new Fulshear Little League is forming but is not yet established and would likely be focused first on organizing teams, schedules and volunteers rather than immediate groundskeeping.
- Long-term operator: The board discussed whether to designate a single home organization to operate and maintain the fields (examples referenced from Eagle Landing, where HTX serves as operator). Board members generally favored keeping Fulshear-focused play ("keep it all Fulshear") and encouraged outreach to the three likely parties to organize play: an emerging Fulshear Little League, Brazos and Katy leagues.
- Fundraising and revenue for maintenance: Board members suggested using weekend tournaments, fee rentals and fence/banner sponsorships to generate maintenance revenue. Members recommended that field-owning organizations (once established) be allowed to sell banner space and other sponsorships as part of routine fundraising.
- Public access: The board clarified that informal public use (neighbors taking kids to play casually) would remain allowed when fields were not reserved for organized practices or games.

Ending: Staff said they will start the solicitation process for maintenance contractors, and the board asked staff to put out a city notice soliciting interested local organizations for field-operator discussions. The board flagged that short-term professional maintenance will be key to ensuring turf establishment and a successful spring opening.
