Deming City Parks See Major Updates

DEMING - More outdoor activity opportunities and a fresh look are coming to the corner of Eighth and Spruce streets.  The City of Deming is currently building an all-inclusive playground at Nacio “Herb” Brown Park and a splashpad in a nearby lot.  Alexi Jackson, Community Services Director said, “We are actively working to promote outdoor recreation in our community, these projects will give all families and residents more fun activities.”
     Park improvements include a canopy shade structure and playground designed for use by children of all abilities. He also said city crews did a “nice job” with sidewalks around the park.
     Luna County Early Childhood Coalition donated $15,000 for equipment at the playground. The total project cost is about $113,000 and it should be completed in late-March.
     Directly across Spruce Street to the north, the splashpad will feature running water installments with shade structures. Visitors can walk through and play with various water spouts and fountains. A building for restrooms is also included in the plans. Use of the splashpad will be free and open to the public. In time for the warmer summer months, the project is expected to be finished in June. The total cost of the project is approximately $450,000.
