$19M in Pflugerville park upgrades to debut in 2026 From the cover
Kelly Lane Park
Park features opening in early 2026 18 parking spaces, including two ADA-compliant spaces
The neighborhood park located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Kelly Lane and Falcon Pointe Boulevard will have pickleball courts, a new playground and trail connections. Achee said the park’s primary purpose is meant to bring more recreation options to underserved areas. The pickleball court will be the first public facility in the city. “We know that there’s a huge demand [for pickleball],” Place 4 City Council member Rudy Metayer said. “This also happens to be over at our local road that we just expanded and finished over there as well. So it’s easy access for the community at large.” The total construction cost for the park is estimated at $2.1 million, city staff shared in August, and is funded through city bonds.

Trail stats Several factors contributed to the city’s designation as the Trail Capital of Texas. 56 miles of public trails 1.49 miles of trail per 2,000 residents 94.8% of Pflugerville residents live within a half mile of a trail wayfinding along its trail system, he said, to give residents better directions when on foot or riding their bikes. “Even in the older parts of town, we’ve got trails that are running through those, but there’s not a lot of signage,” Achee said. “People can get lost or not really understand what they’re connected to.”
How it works
The framework
Achee said a few aspects are at the forefront of planning future park projects. No new projects will be planned without some inclusion of trails, with the goal of tying into the city’s existing trail system. Future project planning will include more trails, with the city’s official designation as the Trail Capital of Texas, which Gov. Greg Abbott awarded the city in May. “We’ve got 60 miles of trails, but because Pflugerville’s grown so quickly, we’ve got a lot of trail gaps,” he said. “We’re hitting that really hard over the next five years to try to make sure that our trail system is as connected as it can be.” The city is working on a project to improve
In the five years since residents passed $42.3 million in bond funds to support parks and recreation projects, Achee said residents have been excitedly waiting for new parks. Phase 2 of Lake Pflugerville Park and a desti- nation play space are also under design. “We are not sitting on any projects,” he said. “They’re all moving, and they’re on track to be finished within the next couple years.” Upcoming projects • Lake Pflugerville Park Phase 2: $10.6M • Destination play space at Bohls Park: $6.85M
