Arnold Park opened its new accessible playground with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and community event on Monday.
The new playground was a collaboration between the City of San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department, H-E-B and KABOOM!–
“One in every seven residents in San Antonio has a certain kind of issue that does not allow them to fully use mobility,” Garcia said. “In my district, one in every four people have some kind of different abilities. So we have to make sure that they’re included and they feel like they’re a part of the community.”
“There’s so many kids here, and they get the opportunity to interact and learn from each other. gets to learn something from someone else that I don’t teach her,” Aguilar said. “And the great things that they have all around the park are really good for parents to interact with their children as well.”
Over 100 H-E-B employees volunteered that day to help bring the playground to life. However, while the construction itself only took a day, the process before that took much longer, according to Monica Garza, a public affairs official for H-E-B.
