Situated at Old Celina Park, the new playground officially opened Oct. 4 when city leaders turned out to the park for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The details
The park was designed for children ages 2-12 and features a variety of attractions. The Old Celina Park Playground includes a water feature, a multiuse court, slides, swings and climbing equipment.
The project cost totaled more than $7.6 million, with funding coming from 2021 and 2024 bond funds, and park fees, according to the city.
What they’re saying
“It's definitely a regional draw,” Celina Mayor Ryan Tubbs said of the playground.
Projects such as the Old Celina Park Playground make the city attractive to people looking to move there, said Steve Walsh, the city’s parks and recreation director.
“It is a beautiful playground,” Walsh said. “I believe it shows the commitment that the community has into reinvesting in its park system, but also providing opportunities for play for all ages and all types. It's a truly inclusive playground.”
