Pflugerville Will Make $1.2M Improvements At Gilleland Creek Pool

PFLUGERVILLE, TX — The Plugerville City Council has voted to spend $1.2 million to replace structures at Gilleland Creek Park.

The council voted on June 8 to replace the bathhouse and lifeguard station at the park. The improvements will include raising the bathhouse's elevation to prevent flooding and demolishing and replacing the building to allow it to be more flood-proof, city officials said.

In April, the council unanimously decided to not proceed with the project, but after considering three other options to spend the money, it voted to proceed with the Gilleland Creek Park pool project.

According to city officials, Option A will call for a parks maintenance facility at 1849 Park, 6430 Cameron Road, that would include a space to hold tools and supplies.

Option B will consider using money to make other improvements at 1849 Park including football field lights, a parking lot expansion and field drainage improvements; and Option C will consider a remodel of the city's Heritage House Museum, also known as the Bohls House, that would include a green room and utility renovations.
