We are excited to announce that the Rainbow Park playground project is officially complete!

Residents can now enjoy the park’s beautiful setting and brand‑new playground equipment. The upgrades were designed to create a welcoming space for everyone by offering a safe, accessible, and positive play experience for visitors of all ages and abilities.

And while the red poles were not replaced due to the high cost, the City was able to use those funds to make additional park improvements across several parks, allowing more neighborhoods to benefit from new playground upgrades.

This summer, plan a picnic, enjoy the outdoors, and come explore the new playground at Rainbow Park!

Learn more about completed park projects and current improvements underway. https://cityofgilroy.org/859/City-Infrastructure-Projects

¡Nos complace anunciar que el proyecto del parque infantil Rainbow Park está oficialmente terminado!

Los residentes ya pueden disfrutar del hermoso entorno del parque y de los nuevos juegos infantiles. Las mejoras se diseñaron para crear un espacio acogedor para todos, ofreciendo una experiencia de juego segura, accesible y positiva para visitantes de todas las edades y capacidades.

Si bien los postes rojos no se reemplazaron debido a su alto costo, la ciudad pudo utilizar esos fondos para realizar mejoras adicionales en varios parques, lo que permitió que más vecindarios se beneficiaran de las nuevas mejoras en los parques infantiles.

Este verano, organiza un picnic, disfruta del aire libre y ven a explorar el nuevo parque infantil de Rainbow Park.
