Stewart Park in Beaumont is set for a major revitalization that will enhance its recreational facilities and strengthen community spaces. Supported by a $3.1 million federal grant, the project will take place in two key phases. The first phase introduces new walking trails, picnic areas, inclusive playground equipment, a splash pad, additional lighting, and improved parking. The second phase plans further upgrades like another playground, expanded skate park, relocated basketball court, a bandshell, and extra picnic shelters. To ensure compliance with environmental standards and secure continued federal funding, construction is temporarily paused for environmental reviews required under the National Environmental Policy Act. This careful approach helps safeguard local wildlife and water quality while keeping the financial impact on taxpayers minimal. The city emphasizes resident engagement and regular updates, highlighting its commitment to responsible planning and fiscal prudence. Once completed, Stewart Park will offer a healthier, more attractive space for all Beaumont residents.
