City of Waveland upgrading Gex Park on Coleman Avenue – WXXV News 25

Posted: February 17, 2022 at 7:54 am

Waveland Mayor Mike Smiths plan to create a happy, healthier city got some help today.

The city added outdoor fitness equipment to Gex Park. A pull-up bar, chest press, and cardio walkers are some of the equipment installed so adults can get a workout while the kids play.

Mayor Smith hopes the addition of the equipment will also help grow the downtown area.

Coleman Avenue is the heart of the business district for the city and it lost many businesses after Hurricane Katrina.

Its still coming back and adding these amenities, Smith hopes will help businesses decide to build back. Were about to get our pier fixed again. Thats one of the main attractions for Coleman Avenue and Downtown Waveland. In the future, I dont want to see overgrowth, but growth to where it will sustain itself.

Next on the agenda, the city will be making the park ADA accessible by adding new playground equipment.
