Big changes and big fun are coming to one of San Marcos’ most active parks.
On June 3, the San Marcos City Council approved the City Park Playground Improvement Project, which is funded through Capital Improvements Projects funds and a TML insurance claim from previous playscape damage by a vehicle. Construction started Aug. 25 and is estimated to take two months, weather permitting.
Improvements include a new playground with padded play turf, shade structures and outdoor fitness equipment for ages 2-5, 6-12, and 13 plus. There will also be trail improvements, a water bottle filling station and accessibility improvements. These include upgrades to existing sidewalks and the addition of new accessible pathways to provide seamless connectivity to the parking lot, basketball court and surrounding park areas. There will also be accessible elements within the new fitness equipment and play structures that will ensure users of all abilities can participate.
