The City of San Angelo, Texas invites all qualified individuals, firms or joint venture entities to submit qualifications to ground lease and repurpose a portion of Mary E. Lee Park, approximately 19.547 acres, located at 7409 Knickerbocker Road, San Angelo, Texas 76904 into a vibrant resort and entertainment destination on Lake Nasworthy.

A portion of the site is currently the location of the City’s Nature Center, a facility that is in need of relocation. In addition, the site is next to the privately owned marina on Lake Nasworthy in the area.

Recently the City of San Angelo undertook the development of a Master Plan for the lake area to provide a long term, comprehensive guide for conservation, development, redevelopment and appropriate utilization of Lake Nasworthy. The Master Plan can be accessed on the web at http://www.cosatx.us/home/showdocument?id=1028.

As that plan underscores, Lake Nasworthy is a unique recreation destination for visitors and locals alike, is currently widely used yet also holds potential for further enhancement and investment. It is not only a regional recreational lake; it also includes several residential neighborhoods.

The vision and strategy reflected in the plan represents the intersection of a market study to understand the true potential of the lake with its surrounding context, as well as the insight of scores of stakeholders representing public institutions, neighborhoods, business owners, recreation advocates, city leaders, and other key opinion leaders. An updated market study by Market Feasibility Advisors is provided in this package.

What emerged early in the planning process was that Lake Nasworthy represents an amazing quilt of unique physical areas and multiple organized activities and attractions, many of which have already claimed regional and national recognition such as the Super Nations Drag Boat Races.
