The City of Victoria Parks & Recreation invites residents to the newly renovated Pine Street Park to enjoy the new play area and other features designed to accommodate a variety of activities and play styles.
The new, larger play area facing Pine Street features a variety of structures for different types of interactive play, along with shading and rubber surfacing for improved safety.
The play area includes features that are accessible to wheelchair users, such as the MOVMNT button-pressing game that can be played while sitting or standing.
The park also features a few athletic improvements, including new backstops, new soccer goals and a renovated basketball court.
The updates also include additional seating and shade structures for visitors who need to take a break. Parks & Recreation plans to add more seating near the play area.
The department will also plant additional grass at the park in the coming weeks.
Brownson Park sidewalk nears completion
Meanwhile, Victoria’s littlest neighborhood park is almost ready to reopen. Crews continue to work on the new sidewalk around the outer fencing, which will connect to the newly installed sidewalk inside the park.
Brownson Park is expected to reopen by the end of next week, weather permitting.
What’s next
The Pine Street Park project is a continuation of Parks & Recreation’s efforts to steadily upgrade playgrounds and neighborhood parks. Other upcoming projects include:
- Meadowlane Park: This neighborhood park will be upgraded in 2026. The City is pursuing a Texas Parks & Wildlife Department grant to help fund the improvements.
- Children’s Park (within Riverside Park): Parks & Recreation will add a splash pad in 2026, with help from the Marsha Shanklin Foundation, followed by renovation of the existing play area.
- Martin Luther King Jr. Park: The City is planning to pursue grant funding to help improve this park in line with the goals of the Parks & Recreation Master Plan.
