1849 Park Phase 2

Most Pflugerville residents—particularly those with children in local sports programs—might be familiar with the current iteration of 1849 Park. The first phase of the park focused on soccer fields, occupying a small portion of the 300 acres set aside by the city for future expansion. The second phase, which opens in early 2026, will provide the community with its first city-owned baseball and softball facilities. Achee said city staff are already planning the third phase of the park, which will include more amenities and trails. Once funding is secured for this expansion, the city will start on its design. Until then, the park will feature mostly athletic facilities.

• March 2026: 1849 Park Phase 2 to open • Spring 2026: Kelly Lane Park to open • 2027: New recreation center to open • Sept. 2027: Lake Pflugerville Park Phase 2 construction begins • June 2028: Destination Play Space Phase I construction begins • Sept. 2028: Lake Pflugerville Park Phase 2 construction completed

Despite the expansion of sports facilities at 1849 Park, the city will still be under-resourced for athletic fields once it’s completed, Achee said. City parks draw over 250,000 users each year, he said, and future facilities at 1849 Park are expected to be fully booked by youth sports leagues. To gauge how the city might close the gap between what exists and what residents want, Achee said a feasibility study will be conducted over the next year. “We continually hear that residents are eager for more places to play, gather and enjoy outdoor activities, and the improvements at 1849 Park directly reflect that,” Gonzales said.

The second phase of 1849 Park and Kelly Lane Park will open to the public in the first quarter of 2026, Achee said. 1849 Park will reach substantial completion in January, he said, but needs time for newly laid sod grass to take root. Beyond these parks, city staff are getting to work on more pieces of the bond package approved by voters in 2020. This includes the second phase of Lake Pflugerville Park, as staff will soon begin designing it.

“These are big projects,” Achee said. “They’re really community-shaping projects in Pflugerville.”
