The start date for construction of the planned Blue Hole Nature Center has been pushed back to pursue additional grant funding from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
Wimberley Parks and Recreation Department has already secured $3M in funding from Hays County, of which they have received $250,000, and $750,000 from TPWD.
ON May 1, Wimberley Parks and Recreation will submit an application for an additional $1.5M grant from TWPD. Winners of the grant will be announced in January 2027. If awarded, construction of the Nature Center will begin Summer 2027.
