La Colonia Playground Renovation Update

We're thrilled to report that the expansion and replacement of La Colonia Tot Lot is well underway and progressing smoothly! The installation of upgraded playground equipment is now visible from the park, with completion anticipated by Memorial Day Weekend. While some components may appear ready for use, please remember that it's not safe until completely finished. We ask that you kindly refrain from using the new Tot Lot until the official opening, which will take place after the construction fencing is removed. Stay tuned for details on the upcoming grand opening celebration to mark the revitalization of the La Colonia Playground!
