“This new park offers even more opportunities for children and families in District 5 to get outside and play, which is a critical part of creating a wonderful quality of life for our residents,” District 5 Commissioner Steven Barry said. “I appreciate the Jennings family and the greater Gonzalez community for their support and continued contributions in District 5, and I’d like to thank our Parks and Recreation and Public Works departments for continuing to add amenities like this that our residents will enjoy for many years to come.”
