A significant aspect of the Parks and Recreation Department’s offerings is providing athletic fields for youth and adult sports programs. In Proposition 3 of the 2013 Bond Program voters approved funding for the acquisition of land for development of a future sports complex in the City of New Braunfels. In 2015, the New Braunfels Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) ranked the sports complex as one of its highest priorities in its strategic initiatives planning process. The IDC contracted with Luck Design and PROS Consulting to complete a Sports Complex Feasibility Study.
Public meetings were held on October and November 2015 providing the community with an update on the project vision, schedule and market analysis. In addition to the input meeting, an online survey was conducted and over 200 responses were collected.
As the feasibility study progressed, the project team realized the overwhelming need for a more global look at athletic field needs within the City of New Braunfels to include current field assessments, future land needs (in addition to a future sports complex), and potential partnerships. As a result, the original scope of the sports complex feasibility study was expanded to the development of an Athletic Field Master Plan for the City of New Braunfels.
