Community members gathered at last Friday morning to welcome the newest park in Corsicana, a long-awaited sensory park. This 22nd park in the city adds a sense of inclusion for children who have special sensory needs. With groundbreaking taking place only 3 months ago, the park was erected just in time to be utilized before the end of the year.
Sharla Allen, the parks director, stated ‘This is a representation of both teamwork and commitment; of taking care of one another.’
Mayor Mike Fletcher spoke next saying, ‘This unique park is designed for children with sensory processing difficulties, mobility issues and other challenges.’ He highlighted the fact that this is the first park of its kind here in Corsicana and will serve the children of the community.
As part of an impact communities project, there were so many people involved in making this wonderful project a reality. Speakers thanked one another for the integral effort made by all.
While attendees listened to holiday tunes and explored the equipment, it was evident that this section of Community Park will be much better utilized with this new addition. Located by the splash pad area that already had an under-utilized gazebo, Sensory Park will bring a year round play option to this section. The ribbon cutting was a quick moment afterwards that showed appreciation for organizers and all involved.
