CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — In 2022, residents approved a bond package that included $1 million to design and construct improvements to Commodore Park. Corpus Christi Parks & Recreation are now wanting feedback from the community to help create a plan for it.
The survey asks residents for their opinions on additions they would like to see at the park and different amenities.
Under the Park category in Bond 2022, 11 different projects were named. The one that came to the forefront this week is the design for Commodore Park out on Padre Island.
The park is currently no more than a boomerang-shaped parcel of land that features a lot of brush, a few trees and a well-used basketball court.
But it could be more and that’s where the City’s Park and Recreation Department is hoping residents can help.
“As we move forward and as the phases go on, we will listen to our community and come up with some funding to try to make Commodore Park what it needs to be," said Corpus Christi Parks and Recreation Director Robert Dodd.
In addition to the survey, two community engagement opportunities are scheduled at Seashore Middle Academy on the concepts developed from the feedback. They will be held on:
- Aug. 8 at 5:15 p.m.
- Aug. 17 at 6:00 p.m.
The survey opened Aug. 1 and residents have until Aug. 18. to complete it.
“It could be a baseball field, it could be a tennis court. Today at our Budget Workshop, Councilman Suckley mentioned maybe a splashpad, maybe a pool," he said.
