Highland Village CDC recommends full-coverage shade at DoubleTree Ranch Park, votes 6–1

Parks staff presented six options to replace a repeatedly damaged shade structure at DoubleTree Ranch Park’s chessboard area, with costs ranging from roughly $12,761 (demo plus small trees) to $64,000 (multiple cantilever shades) depending on selected materials and whether the demo includes removing the base. Staff said a single, engineered 4-post shade would provide full coverage, come with a 20-year structural warranty and a 10-year fabric warranty, and include demo and turf repair as part of the quoted price.
