Playground structures at Fischer Park will be closed April 18-May 9 as contractors work to replace existing play structures, according to a city press release.
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.
