Looking good out there!

A few familiar spots around our parks have a new look.

Rengstorff Park’s basketball and volleyball courts have new sport court surfacing, bringing some new color to the courts. Over at Cuesta Park, the gazebo and light poles were recently repainted.

Sylvan Park’s playground got the biggest transformation. The original support posts stayed, but all of the play elements were replaced, giving the playground a completely new look and feel.

Swipe through to see the before and afters.

A big thank you to our Parks Division for the work they do behind the scenes to care for these spaces and keep our parks looking their best.
