Construction to begin on new Bauer Park amenities

(Seguin) – Seguin’s first park space is on its way to getting new amenities for local families to enjoy.

A project to improve, add amenities and enhance Bauer Park is set to begin this week.

Jack Jones, the parks and recreation director for the city of Seguin, says after months of planning, the park space located on the old library site on East College Street will undergo approximately 2 to 3 months of improvements.

He says improvements to the park include the installation of a large inclusive playscape, a picnic pavilion, four fitness stations and sidewalk work.

“It’s going to be doing the installation of the new playscape, picnic pavilion and the fitness stations and they told us that they could start on laying things out with the sidewalks and maybe do a little concrete work but yes, it’s around the corner. I know I’m excited. I just can’t’ wait to get this playground in, pavilion and the fitness stations because there is not a park really on the east side of Seguin, east of North Austin Street. Bauer Park is really the only park there that serves that entire side of town. So, I’m excited to get this nice big playground in and let folks start enjoying it,” said Jones.
