Bay City presents Parks & Recreation five‑year capital plan with pavilions, playgrounds and boat‑ramp work
Summary
City parks staff reviewed a five‑year capital plan that includes new pavilions and playgrounds, trail and boat‑ramp improvements, USO and Train Depot repairs and an aquatic‑center funding placeholder. Council members pushed for clearer phased costs and more community input given high price estimates.
Bay City Parks and Recreation staff presented a five‑year capital plan at the council workshop that lists multiple park projects — new pavilions and playgrounds, trail surfacing, boat‑ramp engineering, repairs to the historic USO building and planning for a future aquatic center.
Kelly (Parks and Recreation staff) summarized projects by park and explained likely funding sources, timelines and how projects tie to the city’s parks master plan. The presentation reiterated that the master plan is a living document used for grant applications and scoring with state programs.
Key projects and cost estimates
- Performance pavilion at Little Park: staff presented options for a new performance pavilion on the east side near the LCRA canal, showing wood/native designs and saying a single pavilion could be approximately $150,000; a larger performance pavilion in 2027 was estimated at about $280,000 depending on finish and engineering.
