The City of San Angelo Parks and Recreation Advisory Board met November 4, 2026. The board discussed the Bosque Operations lease with Kona Ice, which pays the city $2,000 annually. Members questioned whether current operating-hour requirements and the business model support reliable public access; they agreed to continue the discussion next month with the operator present. No lease change or procurement decision was made. The board also reviewed a concept to redevelop Kiwanis open space, with an estimated cost of about $225,000 and possible funding from local grants or budget savings; members suggested gathering neighborhood input and considering options such as a skate park, practice space, parking, irrigation, and landscaping, but made no recommendation or funding commitment.

The board reviewed the River Parks master plan, including phased improvements to Santa Fe Park, bank stabilization, a fishing/viewing pier, lagoon restoration, and other park connections. Staff said phase one could include issuing a request for proposals for a short-course golf facility; this was a planning concept, not an approved solicitation or award. Staff anticipated taking the master plan to City Council for consideration in December. The board voted to recommend forwarding the Texas Bank Sports Complex tournament-scheduling policy, as amended by the City Attorney; revisions include assigning administrative authority to the Recreation Manager, reserving remaining dates first-come, first-served subject to evaluation requirements, and allowing restrictions on future use for organizations that violate the policy. Staff also reported $13,000 in gate-fee revenue from a tournament to support future events at the complex and previewed a sponsorship policy under development.
