Rudy Garcia Park will begin construction on a series of improvements starting Wednesday, July 1, 2026. Projects include renovations to sports courts, fields, and lighting, new concrete walkways, playground upgrades, and restroom renovations. The park will remain open during construction. Visitors should expect staggered field closures for sports lighting installation and upgrades, fencing around the three basketball courts during their renovation, and marked-off sections where new concrete walkways are being installed. The new playground area will also be enclosed with construction fencing while work is underway. The project is expected to be completed by February 2027.
