City of Corona to install Victoria Park splash pad funded by CDBG/HUD; completion expected by summer
Summary
The City of Corona Public Works Department announced a new splash pad at Victoria Park, designed around the Corona Road Race theme and funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) dollars from HUD. Public Works says the project should be finished by this summer; cost and exact opening date were not specified in the remarks.
Edgar Rodriguez, a Public Works Department official with the City of Corona, said the city is installing a new splash pad at Victoria Park that is funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
"We're here at the Victoria Park installing a new splash pad. The interesting thing about the splash pad is the design is inspired by the Corona road race, and the city is very excited because this is a great chance for the community to have a place for the kids and, well, the community itself to come enjoy in a hot summer day," Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez said the project is one of the CDBG/HUD-funded projects aimed at serving low-income communities. "Happy to tell you guys that this project should be completed by this summer for the full family to come and enjoy," he added.
The city did not provide a construction cost, a specific opening date, or further schedule milestones in the remarks summarized here. The announcement focused on the splash pad's design inspiration and its intended role as a community amenity for families and children, particularly in warmer months.
No formal votes or other council actions were recorded in the provided remarks. The comments consisted of a brief project update from Public Works staff and did not include additional details about funding amounts, contractor selection, or permit status.
