Council agrees to spend $300K for more playground equipment in Starcke Park Darren Dunn
(Seguin) -- The city of Seguin is looking at ways to enhance the playground in Max Starcke Park. The issue came before the Seguin City Council during its meeting on Tuesday night. The council reached a consensus to use $300,000 that had been set aside to purchase park land, and instead use that money to purchase additional playground equipment. Seguin City Manager Steve Parker made the suggestion. Parker says the city heard from a number of citizens recently, who were upset that the city removed some old playground equipment from Starcke Park East without first consulting the public. Parker says it was a safety issue, so the old equipment needed to be removed. “Staff had been monitoring
this, and this playground equipment was very unstable. You could sit on it, and it would rock back and forth. There were a lot of chances for splinters, and some splitting of the plastic slides and so forth. It was just really an unsafe structure. People asked why couldn’t you just repair the wood?
