Nine Completed Park Improvement Projects Benefit Residents Throughout the City

New Playground Units Installed

July 24, 2025

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – The Corpus Christi Parks & Recreation Department has installed nine new playground units to strengthen the community and improve parks citywide.

The new playgrounds, funded through the Park Development Fund and General Fund, meet improved standards and offer more play features to help children challenge themselves, use their imagination, socialize, and become physically active.

In addition, most of the new units include a large shade structure designed to provide relief from the intense sun and heat, increase play time for the children, and enhance the overall family experience.

"For many of our open spaces, the playgrounds are the heart of City parks," said Parks & Recreation Director Robert Dodd. "They create a community where neighbors can gather and get to know each other. Improving our parks is one way we are creating vibrant and engaging places to live, learn, and play."

Dodd said the new playgrounds have been added to parks across the city to provide access to as many residents as possible. The nine playground park projects completed between October 2024 and June 2025 are as follows:

    • Airline Park playground: 2601 Airline Road
