West University Place’s Wier Park could gain an estimated 6,500 square feet of usable space that could include upgrades such as extending the park’s artificial turf, adding more seating and open green space.

What happened

West University Place City Council voted unanimously July 10 to accept the park’s concept design presented by the city’s Parks and Recreation Board.

The backstory

Since 2022, the Parks and Recreation Board and city staff have been collaboratively working with Burditt Landscape Architects and the nonprofit The Friends of West U Parks to come up with a communitywide consensus on improvements to the park.

The city’s fiscal year 2023-2024 budget included improvements to Wier Park, according to July 10 agenda documents.
