The City of Hutto is currently updating the Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trail Master Plan. Your input will significantly shape the future of parks and recreation facilities within your community. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey and return it to us by May 31, 2015.
Citizens of Hutto completed a similar survey in 2006 that led to the Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trail Master Plan. Major Goals from the 2007 Adopted Plan which have been achieved to date include:
• Revised park land dedication ordinance through the adoption of the City of Hutto’s Unified Development Code. The revision includes comprehensive definitions of land per dwelling units built, fees in lieu of land donation for residential development and park land development fees for all new development.
• Hutto Lake Park designed, constructed and completed in 2011.
• An additional two to four miles of additional trail was completed with the additional of the Cottonwood Trail that stretches from Hutto Elementary School to Nadine Johnson Elementary School and Hutto High School. It also added 1.25 miles when the trails at Hutto lake Park were complete in 2011.
• With the connection of trail and sidewalk from the Mager Lane Capital Improvements Project, Clark’s Crossing and Carol Meadows now have direct connections to Fritz Park which serves as its neighborhood park. Additional sidewalk will be connecting neighborhoods on FM 1660 North to Fritz Park via a project slated for late 2015. This will add nearly an additional two miles of sidewalk.
• Fritz Park will undergo construction improvements based on a 2009 bond referendum passed by voters to improve facilities at Fritz Park. Construction plans will be complete this summer with the project out to bid in early 2016.
• The City has an agreement with Williamson County to develop youth athletic fields. The 2009 bond referendum was not passed by voters to approve funds to complete this project yet the need for additional youth athletic fields remains a high priority. A local land owner has stepped agreed in principle to donate a significant amount of land to meet the community’s needs as the 2007 plan identifies.
• With the 2009 bond referendum the City constructed a municipal recreation center which is operated under contract by the YMCA of Greater Williamson County. The center includes an indoor swimming facility for recreational and therapeutic purposes, a full court gymnasium, work out equipment and facilities, a cardio theater/teen center, playground and child care facilities.
