Keller Sports Park on track for late 2025 finish The Keller Sports Park is still on track for com- pletion by the end of 2025, despite some recent changes to its timeline. Director of Community Services Cody Maberry provided an update on the $30 million project during a work session that followed the Oct. 15 Keller City Council meeting. The big picture Maberry said there were some adjustments to the timeline since overhead electric lines had to be buried underground; the city is working with Tri- County Electric Co-op on the project. Due to that, the work on the splash pad has been pushed back. About $28 million of project comes mostly from certificates of obligation to be repaid by the Keller Development Corp.’s sales tax revenue. Maberry said the project should be done by the end of 2025.
