Cole Park’s rebuilt playground on the Corpus Christi bayfront was designed as a more inclusive replacement for the older structure, with ramped access for children who use wheelchairs or other mobility equipment. Official city and local news coverage describe shaded play areas, slides, musical elements, and an inclusive whirlwind-style spinner, with the Cole Park splash pad immediately adjacent. This is a strong family outing stop when you want an accessible play space plus waterfront views and the option to add water play in season.
