China Spring Park Project

The City of Waco purchased 85 acres for the future development of a city park in China Spring, and the Waco City Council approved a contract with the design firm RVi.

China Spring Park has the potential to become a unique place for people to connect with each other and with nature. The City of Waco, along with the RVi team, is developing a vision plan to guide creation of park improvements. The project kicked off in October 2023 with in-depth site analysis and creation of a virtual site tour. The new park is planned for the corner of Jonquil and Flat Rock Road, across from the Waco Regional Airport.

The team has gathered public input through stakeholder workshops and a public meeting in January 2024, along with an online survey. This valuable feedback is being used to develop the proposed program elements for the park, which will be the basis of the initial park development concepts. Waco Parks and Recreation staff will work closely with RVi as the park concepts are created.
