College Station receives $750,000 state grant for Texas Independence Park at Midtown
Posted on 01/27/2025
The City of College Station has received a $750,000 grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission for the Texas Independence Park at Midtown project.

In August, the College Station City Council approved the park’s master plan for about 68 acres on Rock Prairie Road. Grant-specific bike elements include a bike trail, a pump track, a dual elevated hub, wall rides, and surface flow trails. The park will also feature a destination playground, dog park, fishing pond, natural surface trails, and an 18-hole disc golf course.

The project is in the design phase, and construction will start as early as next fall.
College Station was among 21 communities to receive non-urban grants, which fund projects in municipalities with populations under 500,000. The commission approved over $30.9 million in local park grants, a new record, to help create and enhance outdoor recreational opportunities in 50 community parks across Texas.

The competitive grants are allocated to local government entities on a 50/50 reimbursement match basis. Once funded, the sites must remain parkland, properly maintained, and open to the public.
