The Round Rock City Council on Thursday night approved a $122,944.58 agreement to purchase two custom metal shade structures at Old Settlers Park.
The metal structures are part of creating a plaza and a terraced seating area with swings and lounge chairs that will overlook Bright Lake. Officials said the two pergolas will be placed in the northern section of Old Settlers Park in a spot that will be called Yonders Point.
Parks and Recreation Director Rick Atkins said none of the money spent on the pergolas will come from general fund dollars, but from the Lower Colorado River Authority funding that was received as a reimbursement for the public utility running transmission lines through Round Rock parks.
