Construction on Bastrop s $395,000 planned skate park in Fisherman s Park is about 30% complete, Assistant City Manager Rebecca Gleason told the council at its May 11 meeting as part of an update on public infrastructure projects.
The first phase of the skate park s construction process features about 5,000 square feet of poured concrete in Fisherman’s Park.
The city awarded the skate park s construction project to Artisan Concrete Services last year. Construction began in March and is scheduled to be finished this summer, according to city documents.
The City Council opted in October to move forward with plans for the skate park despite a construction cost increase of about $100,000. The cost increase came after a geo-tech report performed as part of the design process determined the need for remediation to existing soils at the project site, inflating the project s cost from $289,000 to about $395,000, with all skate park features included.

Bastrop City Council Member Drusilla Rogers is seeking reelection to the Place 2 seat “to serve another term in order to continue the work we have started and to see other (initiatives) to fruition.”
Rogers, who was first elected in 2018, said that during her first three years in office the council began several projects that will shape the city’s future for generations to come, such as the new B3 codes the council approved in November 2019 in its overhaul of land-use and zoning regulations.
Rogers said approving those regulations has been her proudest accomplishment while in office.
“The new B3 codes that we developed with a great deal of citizen input, while not yet perfect, will assure that Bastrop’s character and flavor will be maintained for future generations to enjoy what we love about our city,” she said. “I look forward to working with our city manager to complete what we have begun.”
