Park and Trail Projects

Current Park and Trail Improvement Projects
Several areas in Victoria are or will be under construction for improvements to parks and trails.

Lakeside Estates Park Phase II    IN PROGRESS 
Lakeside Estates Park (2623 Woods Drive)

The current Lakeside Estates Park south of Wassermann Lake has a playground, basketball court, and open-air shelter for the community to recreate and enjoy. The open area adjacent to the park underwent site grading, installation of a parking lot, and construction of trails and a ball field. These areas are still closed until reseeding is complete.

Deer Run Park 1 (8720 Ridge Ponds Drive)

Timeline: April  - Early June 2024
Each month, the City conducts maintenance assessment of all city playground structures to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our park users. Throughout this process, Deer Run I playground was identified as requiring full replacement to meet safety standards. Replacement is scheduled for early summer 2024 and will involve the installation of a new play structure, new cement barriers and the replacement of pea-gravel for wood fiber surfacing. 

Huntersbrook Park Design    PLANNED 
New Park Area (10200 Creekside Lane)

The City of Victoria is initiating the design of a new park located in the Huntersbrook neighborhood. The 5.6-acre park will serve the Huntersbrook and Marsh Hollow developments, as well as other communities in the south area. Community engagement will begin summer 2024 to determine amenities and programming for the park.
