Zipp Family Sports Park adds a major recreation destination in New Braunfels

Zipp Family Sports Park represents a nearly 130-acre investment in youth sports and community recreation at 1655 West Klein Road. The city introduced the complex in a May announcement ahead of its scheduled June opening celebration.

The first phase includes facilities for soccer, baseball, softball and other field sports, along with concessions, restrooms, shade structures and parking.

The project grew from a 2006 sports-complex study. The city says land acquisition involved a 2013 voter-approved bond and a 25-acre Zipp family donation, with later funding from the 2019 bond program, Texas Parks and Wildlife and a $15 million economic development corporation commitment.

Additional fields and amenities are planned for future phases, so the current footprint should not be confused with the full long-term concept.

Residents looking for present-day field use, programs or event notices should consult the park’s current information page linked in the city announcement. The June celebration schedule is historical, not an upcoming event.
