Fun Abounds will be installing a new corkscrew slide, a larger climbing boulder and inclusive play equipment, such as musical instruments and a wheelchair transfer on play equipment. The existing climbing nets will also be repaired.
The updates are part of a more than $260,000 project approved by New Braunfels City Council members in January.
The fiscal year 2021-22 budget approved $250,000 for the purchase of new playground equipment, but approximately $113,000 from the 2013/2019 bond funds that were dedicated to all-inclusive playground features will be utilized to support some of the equipment, according to city documents.
Work is expected to be completed May 9, and the splash pad, swing sets and Grand Pavilion will not be affected by the closures.
