Unreal what $10.9 million buys in Overtown versus the corrupt Southern end of the County.
Multitudes of children frolicked in what seemed like an oasis in Tuesday’s heat: Gibson Park’s brand new water park and Olympic-size swimming pool.
In 2010, all five city commissioners, with Spence-Jones back on board, agreed to a $10.9 million project to renovate Gibson Park.
The park was designed to last, said city Parks Director Juan Pascual. Maintenance costs will be reduced by the choice of construction materials: the baseball field is made of artificial turf instead of grass.
The main recreation building is certified for energy efficiency.

“No corners have been cut here,” Pascual said.
