“We did see where there were some errors committed ... [and the Parks Master Plan] wasn’t really reviewed to the extent that it should, and that created a lot of confusion out there.” JOHN ESCOTO, SHENANDOAH MAYOR

SHENANDOAH PARK

The Shenandoah Public Works Department will rework its Parks Master Plan following concerns raised from residents and council members at the Aug. 27 meeting. The plan was previously presented at the July 23 meeting and developed by the city in partnership with Burditt Consultants following a city survey. Suggestions included an option for a new dog park and improvements to current parks. However, several residents expressed concerns about the idea of building parks at the two city-owned tracts at the end of Rosewood Drive and west of Cedarwood Drive.

“I think we need to talk with more transparency about this park plan … I think the idea of another splash pad is a little bit of redundancy [and] we need to take care of what we already have.” LAURA KRESS, RESIDENT

The City Council responded and removed those locations as possible future parks. Developing the plan would allow the city to apply for Texas Parks and Wildlife funds in the future, which could help develop a park on the east side of I-45, officials said.
