Design approved for new park in El Centro
El CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - The City of El Centro Council voted to approve a design-build project for Three Peaks Corporation to reconstruct David Gomez Memorial Park in the eastern part of the city.
The conceptual site plan will include a sports field, multiple fitness areas, multipurpose sports courts, restrooms, an amphitheater, shaded children’s play areas, and parking.
The park is located at South Hope Street, behind El Centro Fire Station #2.
The City of El Centro received a $5.5 million grant through Proposition 38 that will help reconstruct the park.
“Why this park is important, we want to make sure that it had state of the art facilities, and one of that is we have shared families are going to come in and get exercises here at this park," said City of El Centro Mayor Martha Cardenas Singh.
The City of El Centro said it will also create a safe environment.
The project is expected to start construction in the fall of 2024.
