To redevelop Lobit Park into a useable City Park that will serve the public's current and future needs. Lobit Park was a Galveston County Park until the City took it over in February 2022. The park currently consists of an outdoor pavilion,
restrooms, baseball field, basketball court, soccer fields, parking lot, a tennis court slab, and an overgrown volleyball court area. Lobit Park went through a Condition Assessment in September 2013, as well as an Updated Condition Assessment in June 2021. These assessments provided some projected costs to get the park and associated facilities repaired and safely reopened. The projected costs in this CIP are the results of those assessments. The total of $1,553,567 is to complete the work from the third party assessment (minus pavement improvements which will be completed in house), plus replacement costs versus repair for added lighting, grading, electricity, water, and sanitary sewer. Annual maintenance costs would include staff, operating and recreation supplies, building and grounds maintenance, contract mowing, recreation program supplies, as well as water, electricity, and insurance. Annual programming and revenue would come from pavilion rentals and baseball leagues. We estimate around $17,400 annually in revenue. Total funding request includes Design, Contingency, and Construction costs. This project is in included in the City's or County's FY 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of September 30, 2022, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
