Brackenridge Park Reconciled Plan & Project Inventory
About
In May 2023, City Council approved funding from the Midtown TIRZ to support a new planning effort for Brackenridge Park. Specifically the effort will consider the following:
The result will be a Reconciled Plan & Project Inventory for Brackenridge Park that:
- consolidates the goals and objectives outlined in the plans above.
- provides an inventory of uncompleted projects that were identified in the plans.
Through public input, stakeholders will agree on guiding principles and evaluation criteria that will inform future decisions about:
- project selection
- development
- design
Public Input and Draft Documents
Public comments, survey results, and draft documents are available for review.

Stakeholder Advisory Committee
In June 2023, City Manager Erik Walsh reconstituted the Brackenridge Park Stakeholder Advisory Committee. The role of the Advisory committee is to facilitate public engagement and information sharing as the City begins to consider future development opportunities within Brackenridge Park.
In addition to informing the Reconciled Plan and Project Inventory, the Stakeholder Advisory will continue review and provide feedback on City projects moving forward.
