Park Enhancements

Enhancements to parks are underway at David Blanks Playground and Lake David Park.

Lake David Park

The rumors are true! We are getting a splash pad, new playground equipment, and a new bathroom! Keep checking back for more updates.

The Community Redevelopment Agency has also set aside funding to update the North Side of Lake David Park. The area where the gazebo is currently located will be transformed into a Great Lawn with a stage for performances, festival streets, and a boardwalk.
