The first City Council made provisions fo r the creation of the City Parks Board in May 1939. The Parks Board had authority to manage parks and public grounds for recreational and beautification purposes. Although there was no official City {>ark, tile Board had authority to receive grants of money and donations of labor and materials. Other than creating a Parks Board, the Council gave little attention to the development of parks or a recreational 1:>rogram during the first decade of the City's existence. In 1947 the Council established the first City park with purchases of land from F.B. Clark and Hershel Burgess. The property, which surrounded and included the drained College Lake Park, became known as Dexter Park and was renamed Brison Park in 1980 in honor of Fred Brison. In 1953 a large group of citizens, utilizing the~r newly-attai!led charter privileges, suggested a possjble referendum which, if passed, ":ould establish a Recreat10n Board. The Board would operate with a budget funded by an mcrease m taxes. Rather than submit the proposal to a vote, Mayor Langford, with the approval of the Council, appointed a five man Recreation Board. A recreation fund account was created which would receive appropriations each' year. The Board's duties included administering the parks and developing a recreational program with major emphasis on youth activities. Within a short period of time, the Board sponsored programs in swimming, tennis, golf, Little League baseball, and arranged City picnics. However, most of the programs were possible only because Texas A&M officials allowed the City to use the college's recreational facilities. City officials also looked into the possibility of converting the partially damaged Lincoln School into a recreation center. In January 1966 Lincoln School caught fire and with 600-700 spectators hindering firefighting efforts, firemen and volunteers could not prevent severe damage. Ten classrooms were lost, along with the library, principal's office, and all school records. The school district agreed in 1968 to lease Lincoln School to College Station for recreational purposes. The City also obtained use of property adjacent to the school for an all-purpose sports field. The project was not immediately successful. Youngsters vandalized the facilities, and only after Mayor Anderson pleaded with the community for support did the destruction diminish. By 1973, however, Lincoln Center offered a fulltime recreational program for all College Station residents with such activities as basketball, softball, ping-pong, arts and crafts, and judo. In 1977 the Center became City property. During Anderson's administration, officials realized that as the City expanded so must the recreation facilities. Parks and Recreation became a City department in 1971, although the parks superintendent and his assistant were employed on a part-time basis. The rest of the recreation staff worked without compensation. The new de~artment also continued to rely heavily on University facilities. In order to ensure future recreation areas, the Council included mandatory parkland dedications in the Subdivision Ordinance. According to the ordinance, developers were required to donate a portion of their land for park sites. Acreage was based on the number of units they" constructed, or they could give the City the cash equivalent. This principle of mandatory parkland dedication was later challenged through the Court system and successfully upheld by a Texas Supreme Court decision in 1985. The Council made substantial progress during the early 1970's in establishing a long awaited municipal park which would have facilities for swimming. College Station officials learned that beginnmg m the summer of 1973 its residents could no longer use the Texas A&M pool. It became imperative that the City develop the!roposed park. In 1973 William Fitch donated sixteen additional acres adjacent to the selecte park site, and the Federal Bureau of Outdoor Recreation approved a matching grant of $132,500 for development of a!ool. The City hired J. W. Wood as architect-engineer for the project. Although the budget woul not allow all requested amenities to be constructed, residents soon enjoyed the availability of an olympic-size swimming pool in their community. College Station's first aquatic facility opened in Bee Creek Park on October 5, 1974. It was later named Adamson Municipal Pool in honor of Art Adamson, a long time swimming instructor at Texas A&M University. Since the early 1950's, residents had expressed an interest in a City-wide recreational program and in acquiring municipal park sites. City leaders have made significant progress toward that goal. The expansion in City parks and recreation facilities during the late 70's ancf early 80's was phenomenal. Not only did the amount of park acreage double, but officials also sought to accommodate a variety of activities. The development of the Parks and Recreation Department reflected the growth. The City Staff, Parks and Recreation Board, and City Council worked together to implement these projects. With additional funds allocated from the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation in 1974, the City added tennis courts, ballfields, and playgrounds at Bee Creek Park. In Se{>tember 1975 the Brazos County Bicentennial Committee inquired about the possibility of establishmg an official county arboretum at Bee Creek in conjunction with the national celebration. The Council enthusiastically supported the idea and designated seventeen undeveloped acres for this purpose. Citizens from both tne City and county planted and labeled various species of trees and mapped out a nature trail. The arboretum, recently renamed for former Mayor Andy Anderson, was ready in time for the 1976 Fourth of July festivities. Throughout the late 1970's, the City Council continued to add land and facilities to the park system. In 1975, the City Council amended the parkland dedication ordinance to require developers to donate more acreage for recreation areas than originally specified by the ordinance. The following year the City established the College Station Parks and Recreation Foundation, a trust fund created expressly for the purpose of purchasing Lincoln Center from the school district. Using federal money received in December 1977, the Parks Department developed facilities at Thomas and Oaks Parks on the east side of the City. A second municipal pool opened in Thomas Park on June 21, 1980. One of the Parks and Recreation Department's most successful achievements was the development of College Station Central Park. In June 1978 the City purchased forty-seven acres near the East Bypass and Krenek Tap Road to provide athletic fields for the community's organized softball and soccer teams. The site also contained a large wooded expanse and a small pond. The natural setting convinced park officials to expand the facility to a multi-purpose recreational area. Tennis courts, Ricnic areas, playground facilities, nature trails, and a group pavilion were included in the plans. College Station residents celebrated the completion of their largest municipal park in August 1982. The Parks Department not only decided to use Central Park as a model for future developments, but also chose to establish their office building and a maintenance facility amid its scenic settmg. In 1984, the Parks and Recreation Department created "Christmas In the Park". Substantial donations from local businessman Jack Lester enabled the City to purchase lights and other decorations for the park. Every year volunteers and City employees install lights throughout Central Park creating a brilliant show for all to see. 600 cars per hour view the decorations at peak times and this attraction will be enjoyed by many for years to come. In response to the community's needs, the City purchased and developed Southwood Athletic Park. By the end of 1984, one and a half years after construction first started, Southwood became College Station's second largest developed park, consisting of forty-four acres. The park has many facilities including a pool, baseball and soccer fields, a tennis center and basketball courts. There is also a maintenance facility and large group pavilion located in the park. Funding for this project was through the 1981 bond issue along with a matching grant through the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. In 1985, the City obtained its first historical park. Richard Carter Park is the site of the Richard Carter Homestead. The park is on the corner of Brazoswood Drive and the East Bypass. Carter was College Station's earliest settler, arriving from Alabama in 1831. He received a lano grant from the .i Mexican Government of 4,428 acres comprising most of what is College Station today. Carter was appointed to the first Board of Commissioners after Brazos County was created in 1841 and helped survey the site of Booneville, the first county seat. He was also one of the area's wealthiest land owners, raising cattle, corn, and cotton during the years before the Civil War. In honor of Richard Carter, Carter Park has an interpretive center with displays about the history of this early settler and a stylized sculpture depicting Carter staking the homestead. In March 1987, the City Council studied the expenditure of Parkland Dedication Funds in the park zone which contains the section of Wolf Pen Creek. This section is approximately a one and a half mile section of the creek between the Highway 6 Bypass and Texas Avenue. During discussion of expenditures and improvements, it was suggested the opportunities of the flood plain should be examined for recreational use. Comparison was made to a similar project in Navasota where considerable public support and assistance was given to the project by acfjacent property owners and the general citizenry. From this and other discussions evolved the City Council's request of staff to develop a conceptual plan. Through collaboration between the Parks, Engineering and Planning Departments, a conceptual approach for development of Wolf Pen Creek was prepared and submitted to the Council. The Council requested that work be continued. The consulting firm of J. T. Dunkin and Associates was hired to work with the creation of a Master Plan for the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor. Within two years, the City Council has placed the development of the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor as its first priority for 1989-90. The first phase of this development will begin with the construction of the amphitheater in conjunction with Texas Parks and Wildlife Grant. This 1.3 million dollar project will set the pace for future phases to come as well as provide a staging area for existing and future recreation programs and special events.
