City Council Awards Bid for Standpipe Park

April 24, 2024

The Belton City Council Tuesday authorized a $1.47 million bid to develop the block where the historic standpipe stands on Hughes Street in South Belton into a city park. A $750,000 Texas Parks and Wildlife grant, awarded in January 2023, will fund about half the cost of the park.

The project will include restoration of the standpipe, lighting, open play lawns, parking, landscape improvements, and a concrete walking trail. The city also plans to install a playground and restroom at the park.

The bid was awarded to TTG Utilities, which the city has previously worked with on multiple construction projects, including the South Belton Shared Use Path, which connected Holland Road to Liberty Park.

Construction of the Standpipe Park is projected to be completed by the end of the year.
