Gilbert Acosta (from left), Marcelo Vaca and Lupe Pacheco, with the city's Parks and Recreation Department, start the process Monday of taking Cole Park's KidsPlace apart by removing the rubber mulch. The mulch will be cleaned and placed in other parks. The playground will be closed for several months while new equipment is built.
CORPUS CHRISTI — City park workers on Monday began tearing out playground mulch at KidsPlace in Cole Park to prepare the site for new equipment.
Renovations at Cole Park are expected to begin by July.
KidsPlace will be rebuilt with more parking, rubber matting, improved bathrooms and a bigger playground that can handle 400 kids at once.
The City Council approved a $1.06 million contract last week with Safenet Services to improve playground equipment, an amphitheater, parking, irrigation and landscaping.
Portions of the park will be under construction through December. The work is part of a $2.5 million complete renovation of Cole Park, which voters approved in the 2008 bond improvement program.
