During the recent Parks and Recreation Commission meeting held on September 15, 2025, the Seaside City Council received important updates regarding the development of trails and playground facilities in local parks. The meeting, led by Chair Manzanita Stewart, featured Public Works Director Thomas Korman, who provided insights into ongoing projects at Lincoln Cunningham Park, Manzanita Park, and Laguna Grande Park.

Korman reported that the trails at Lincoln Cunningham Park are currently open to the public, although landscaping efforts are still in progress. A significant highlight from his update was the anticipated arrival of new playground equipment, which is expected to be delivered by the end of the week. Construction of the playground is set to commence the following week, marking a crucial step in enhancing recreational facilities for the community.

The updates reflect the city’s commitment to improving public spaces and ensuring that residents have access to quality recreational areas. As these projects move forward, they are likely to foster greater community engagement and provide families with safe and enjoyable environments for outdoor activities.

The meeting underscored the importance of maintaining and upgrading park facilities, which play a vital role in community well-being. As the city continues to develop these spaces, residents can look forward to enhanced recreational opportunities in the near future.
