FREEDOM PARK BASEBALL FIELD

The Freedom Park Baseball Field in Angleton is a $1,268,500 renovation project filed under the name Freedom Park. Located at 3105 N Downing St in Brazoria County, the work involves the construction of a new baseball field featuring dugouts, covered bleachers, and an access walk. The City of Angleton is the owner of record, and Burditt Consultants serves as the design firm for this 198,200 sq ft improvement.

According to the TDLR record, plan review was completed in January 2026, and construction was scheduled to begin in the same month. The filing lists an estimated completion date of August 2026. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, meaning the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The project status is marked as Review Complete, but the lack of a final inspection record prevents confirmation of whether the physical work is finished.

This project is part of a broader series of infrastructure investments by the City of Angleton. The city has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $4,703,600, including the Abigail Arias Park and the Angleton Recreation Center Expansion. Burditt Consultants, the design firm, has worked on six other registered projects totaling $20,800,560, such as the Clark Henry Park in Jersey Village and the Kansas Avenue Kayak Launch in League City. This pattern indicates a consistent partnership between the city and the design firm for public facility improvements.

Context and Comparisons

Compared to other renovation and alteration filings in Brazoria County, this project stands out in scale and duration. The estimated cost is above the county median of $250,000 for similar work. The scheduled build window of 238 days is longer than the county median of 95 days. The cost per square foot is $6, which is below the county median of $89. These figures suggest a large-scale outdoor infrastructure project rather than a typical interior renovation.
