Featured Projects Coming to Converse, Texas

The Parks Design Initiative will create a long-range planning and design framework for Converse North Park and Converse City Park. Through a consultant-led planning process, the project will establish foundational concepts that can guide future park improvements, identify opportunities for new amenities and event spaces, and provide a shared vision for future investment by the City of Converse and the Converse Economic Development Corporation.

Where The Project Stands Today

July 2026

Converse is investing in long-term planning to help guide the future of its two regional parks. The Parks Design Initiative will engage a qualified consultant to prepare foundational design concepts for Converse North Park and Converse City Park. These concepts are intended to provide a clear framework for evaluating future park improvement projects rather than serving as construction plans.

The effort will examine how each park can best support recreation, community gatherings, and future amenities while creating a cohesive vision that reflects the unique character of each location. The resulting planning document will help the Converse Economic Development Corporation and the City identify, prioritize, and pursue future park improvement projects over time. This work also supports recommendations identified in the City's Parks, Recreation & Open Space planning efforts to prepare concept designs for parks and establish a consistent design identity across the park system.

Well-planned parks support recreation, community gathering, and quality of life. Establishing a shared design vision helps the City and Converse EDC make future investments more strategically while creating a roadmap for improvements that respond to community needs and opportunities.

The Converse Economic Development Corporation and the City of Converse will work together throughout this planning effort. The consultant's recommendations will provide a common framework that can guide future decision-making and help coordinate park improvement initiatives over time.

The project will use a consultant-led planning process to evaluate existing park conditions, identify opportunities for future improvements, and develop conceptual designs for Converse North Park and Converse City Park. The resulting framework is intended to support future planning and investment decisions.

This initiative is designed to provide a lasting roadmap for future park improvements. By establishing a clear design vision today, Converse can better prioritize future projects, evaluate funding opportunities, and strengthen its parks system as community needs continue to evolve.
