In Kyle, parks and recreation is a “critical component” for how the city develops, City Manager Bryan Langley said.

The city’s parkland dedication ordinance outlines specic requirements for developers to set aside parkland or provide fees in place of land to meet the recreational needs of new developments. Kyle’s Lake Park District is one example of how the city collaborates with developers by negotiating components of its parkland dedication ordinance into development agreements. The project, which will house a new St. David’s Hospital and city-owned hotel and convention center, has about 20 acres of dedicated parkland, according to the development agreement. Parts of The Vybe Trail, an 80-mile paved path that aims to connect all Kyle neighborhoods to dierent areas of the city, are also being constructed on the backside of the property. All the 2022 road bond projects have a Vybe Trail component to them, which will allow for more walkability throughout the city. As those projects start moving forward, residents will begin seeing more of those connection points, Langley added.
