Keller board hears construction update on sports park; restrooms months from completion
Summary
Staff reported the Keller Sports Park restroom and splash pad work is under way, with the restroom described as a six‑month project about two months in and an optimistic opening target for the park by month‑end pending county coordination; erosion fixes for nearby trails will be bid in coming months.
During the meeting staff provided a multi‑point construction update on the Keller Sports Park. The Chair and staff said "93% of the sports park" work remains ongoing and described crews (masons, electricians and plumbers) working on the legacy restroom and the splash pad and landscaping moving forward. (Staff member)
On scheduling, staff described the restroom as a six‑month project with about two months completed and estimated additional work could put final completion "right in the middle of fall season," with an October target mentioned by the Chair. Staff also said coordination with Tarrant County is required to reach an opening goal by the end of the month. (Staff member)
Board members discussed site details for the splash pad and concrete work: crews found a one‑foot drop across the concrete slab that required deeper excavation on one side to meet ADA slope and drainage, and staff said they will pour concrete and finish the slab as soon as ground corrections are complete. (Staff member)
Separately, staff described two trail repairs: one bridge decking swap and an erosion control project between Bear Creek and Keller Smithfield using riprap/gabions. Staff said a consultant is revising designs to reduce cost and the city expects to issue bids in the next few months with construction to follow. (Staff member)
Board members framed the Rangers partnership discussed earlier as a branding/endorsement opportunity tied to the sports park; staff described the arrangement as a nonexclusive affiliation that allowed co‑branding of signs and field names. (Chair, Presenter)
