As Frisco works to revamp their minor league field, Dr. Pepper Ballpark, an idea to add a lazy river to the complex is being entertained by the RoughRiders, the Double-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, and the city's Community Development Corporation board, according to the Dallas Morning News.

The first phase of almost $5 million renovations were completed last year and now, the old pool area is in line to get some TLC.

“The idea right now is to take out the existing swimming pool – which is available for private rental – and replace it with a much larger lazy river feature,” according to the report. “The design also calls for several cascading water features that will allow images to be featured on them. Early designs also show a new cabana and bar and wood party decks.”

On Thursday, Frisco’s CDC had a unanimous vote in favor of moving forward with agreements for improvements like a pool re-work, the Dallas Morning News reported.

Since the cost of phase one renovations came under budget, the city now has a remaining $1.038 million to pay for preliminary costs for “architectural and design services,” the report said.

The existing improvements including helped the ballpark win the title of Ballpark Digest’s Best Ballpark Renovation for last year.

“The city, as you know, they’re great to work with, great partnership, very committed to keeping the ballpark fresh and modern,” Frisco RoughRiders executive vice president and general manager Jason Dambach told the Dallas Morning News. “It’s going to be a really cool thing hopefully if we can get that pool project to come to fruition here at the ballpark.”
