🎉 The New Yuma City Park Playground is OPEN! 🛝🌳
We’re excited to officially welcome the community to the brand-new playground at Yuma City Park — now open and ready for fun! 🎈
With all-new equipment and a fresh safety surface, this upgraded space is perfect for families to enjoy the summer season. ☀️💚
🔨 Splash Pad Construction Coming Soon – Opening May 2026!
🚫 Please remember: Bicycles, skateboards, and motorized scooters are not allowed on the playground surface. These activities should be enjoyed in the new skate and pump park nearby to help protect the new equipment and ensure safety for all kids.
Let’s all do our part to keep the new park beautiful, clean, and safe for everyone. Come on out and make some memories!
