City of New Braunfels Approves Zipp Family Sports Park Plans, Boosting Local Recreation and Economy
The City of New Braunfels, Texas, is set to open the Zipp Family Sports Park, a major recreational development, on June 20th. This 150-acre multi-sport complex, located at Klein Road and FM 1044, is designed to host youth athletics, tournaments, and community events. The project, which began with a 2006 sports complex study, was made possible through a voter-approved bond initiative in 2013 and a 25-acre land donation from the Zipp family. SpawGlass was selected as the Construction Manager at Risk in 2023, facilitating the project's construction phase. The New Braunfels Economic Development Corporation has invested nearly $19.5 million since 2018 in land acquisition, construction, and future operations. The park features multiple sports fields and supporting infrastructure, aiming to attract regional tournaments and visitors.
