Message fromQuality the Mayor of life is one of the things that makes living in Deer Park so incredible. I’d
like to take a moment and remind our residents about all of the family-friendly and socially-distanced events made available by our Parks and Recreation Department, because while we want to continue to keep our families safe, I know we’re all looking forward to getting out and making some memories this summer. First, the Parks and Recreation Department will once again host the hugely successful “Concerts in the Park” series, featuring a wide variety of musical groups for our citizens to enjoy. These events will be held in and around the Dow Park Pavilions, a state-of-the-art venue completed with the assistance of Type B economic development sales and use tax funding. I would encourage our residents to learn about these concerts ahead of time and plan to attend with your friends and family. I’m also excited to announce that 4th Fest – the department’s annual Independence Day celebration – will be offered this year on Sunday, July 4th. After everything we as a community have endured during this pandemic, it is so important that we gather safely and celebrate our country and our freedom. Finally, remember that your city is full of beautiful parks and greenspaces maintained by our Parks and Recreation Department staff. If you haven’t already, take advantage of the opportunity to walk around the Deer Park Nature Preserve, which is a great place to experience the outdoors, take photos and explore nature.

Project Updates Parks & Recreation
PHASE 1 HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL
The project is currently receiving bids for construction services. City staff is working with Burditt Consultants in reviewing received bids and making a determination on a recommendation for City Council approval. City staff and the architectural consultants engage in a lengthy process to evaluate and throughly analyze bids to select the lowest responsible bidder.
SPENCERVIEW BRIDGE/ BASEBALL COMPLEX NE HIKE AND BIKE TRAILS The project documents for the construction phase have been completed by the architect, RVI. Staff is preparing to release a request for proposal in Spring/Summer of 2021 for the construction of the trail. RVI consultants has been working with City staff on this project to make sure that all requirements for Federal pass-thru funding project provided by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department are met.
The Baseball Complex has been completed. Work continues on gaining access for a bridge for access to future parking. Harris County Flood Control has responded to the City that access to the bridge needs to be identified. City staff is working on an Easement with the adjacent property owner to gain and use access for drainage channel maintenance. A survey is being completed to identify property lines to complete this process. City staff is meeting with a vendor to discuss the bridge that will cross from Spencerview Athletic Complex into a new undeveloped park. City staff currently working on a site plan for the undeveloped park. We hope to have this portion completed by late Spring of 2021.
BATTLEGROUND GOLF COURSE BUNKER RENOVATION Renovations to the sand bunkers at the Battleground Golf Course have recently been completed. The project consisted of demolition of existing bunkers, grading and compacting, installation of drainage pipe, installation of bunker liner, installation of bunker material, sod around bunkers and minor repairs and clean-up.
