The Southeast Park, also known as the Plastic Park, has been neglected for far too long now. It has been vandalized and a known spot for mischief among the community.
The town of Mineral Wells, Texas needs to shift it's focus on childhood and family recreational development. Children need a creative and SAFE place to play and the South East part of town doesn't have any of that.
It only makes sense that we tend to a park that is located closely to 3 of the main schools in town in a neighborhood that needs a make over.
By renovating the park, we can give Mineral Wells a greater sense of pride that has been tarnished by others.

I am honestly a bit overwhelmed by the way the community has rallied to support this project. It is clearly all of you who are driving this momentum forward because you care about these kids.

This park has been around since 1991! 27yrs and no renovations. It's ridiculous and needs to be fixed.
I live across the street and have to drive my kids across town to play at the park. This park is very dangerous and not well maintained.
I use to live 1 block from this park. At that time it was neglected and was not a place where one would feel letting a child go without adult supervision. I have heard that it is worse now. Please do something.
I think something needs to be done not many people would want to take their children to a place like this but it's kinda hard when it's the closest place an don't have transportation.. To many get hurt on the equipment.
This is a park I've literally watched be built and destroyed before my eyes. A lot of nostalgia and great memories at this park and was deeply saddened when I took my niece there to play Pokemon Go, the state it was in. With a few updates and upgrades this park can serve the community like it once has And bring enjoyment to an area that could use it.
I agree that this park needs an upgrade. It has been the same since i played on it as a little girl.
This park was always a big part of my childhood and it is sad that we can not take our two year old to the same park and that we'd rather take him to the city park that is further away from our home. The park just looks bad and has been in need of repairs for a long time.
