We are extremely excited to announce that the Playground has become a reality!!! The Port O’Connor Chamber of Commerce has been working very hard, and we have secured grant funding to reach our goal! A huge thank you to the Earl C, Sams Foundation; our committee chairs, Dawn Ragusin, Darla Parker and Mike Overton; alongside our Chamber board; and our Commissioner, Gary Reese for making this all possible. The playground structure is in production, and the estimated time of installation is late September to early October.

The committee has selected an ocean theme color selection of blues and grey for the structure. The playground area will be approximately 56’ x 37, designed for children ages 2-12. It will include two Trout Spring Riders, and two six-foot benches with two 12’x12’ cantilever shades over each. This playground will have an ADA full ramp system, a playground border and recreational surfacing for the safety of our children. Placement of the play area will be on the north side of the pier at King Fisher Beach Park.

We are very pleased to be able to give our community a place for our children to play!
