League City will shut down its public boat ramp at Clear Creek on Monday, Oct. 12 for a $2 million renovation expected to last through summer 2027.

The ramp, located at 1399 North Egret Bay Blvd. under the FM 270 bridge, is 35 years old. The city announced the closure in a Monday, Sept. 21 news flash, giving boaters about three weeks' notice before construction begins.

The project touches nearly every part of the facility. All three boat ramps will be upgraded. Workers will rehabilitate the bulkhead to protect the waterfront and extend the site's lifespan. New and improved docks, walkways, decking, and dock bumpers are planned, along with parking lot and sidewalk improvements. Accessibility upgrades will bring the ramp into compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.

A grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) will partially offset the $2 million cost. The city has not disclosed the grant amount or the split between state and local dollars.

The ramp has been showing signs of deterioration on its ramps, parking lot, bulkheads and boardwalk, according to a project update posted to the League City Listens site. The project's design phase wrapped in March 2026, with bids anticipated that April, per the site's construction timeline. Anthony Talluto is listed as the city's project manager for the work.

Galveston County completed a similar TPWD-funded boat ramp project earlier this year. The county's Highway 3 Boat Ramp renovation cost $585,000, with TPWD covering 75% and the county paying 25%, according to a Jan. 16 post on the county's official X account. League City's project carries a significantly larger price tag.

The ramp is anticipated to reopen in summer 2027, according to both the city's news flash and the League City Listens project page, which also lists a summer 2027 target on its construction timeline.

Boaters looking for alternatives during the closure may find another launch at Walter Hall Park, also located along Clear Creek. The park's boat ramp and canoe and kayak launch were referenced in a July 14 City Council work session on future capital reinvestment, though the city has not confirmed whether that ramp can handle additional traffic.

Residents can follow the League City Listens project page for construction updates. No public comment period or council meeting specific to this project has been announced.
