This podcast is a visit with Rusty Warncke of the city of College Station's capital projects office and WTAW's Bill Oliver.

College Station residents are asked for their opinion about adding youth ballfields and the future development of Southeast Park.Online surveys are now available on both topics.

And residents can participate in separate meetings that are hosted by the city's parks and capital projects departments.

Project manager Rusty Warncke of the city's capital projects office says staff will be forwarding public opinions to the city council.

The subject of adding youth ballfields is the result of the city learning that soil quality issues prevented the construction of fields at what was the Texas Independence Ballpark complex.

That property, off Rock Prairie Road west of Fitch, is now called Southeast Park. Warncke says the council is seeking public input on what should be located on that park property.

The meeting about youth ballfields is Wednesday, October 25.

The meeting about developing Southeast Park is Monday, October 30.

Both meetings are at College Station city hall, starting at 5:30 p.m.

Neither meeting includes a formal presentation. Warncke says residents can come and go and visit with city staff.
