Gladys Seward Park is dear to our hearts; it is the only park we have on this side of town here in Brownwood, TX. For years, it has been a wonderful place where our children could play, learn, and grow. Now, though, the park is in desperate need of help.

All the other parks in Brownwood have been updated, providing safe and fun environments for families. Meanwhile, our beloved Gladys Seward Park has fallen into disrepair. Kids can no longer enjoy playing in the sand because it's overrun with stickers, making it not only uncomfortable but potentially harmful. The merry-go-round, once a source of joy and laughter, has been broken for months. Our park benches and play structures are covered in peeling paint, showing neglect and making the park look uninviting.

This is not merely about aesthetics; it’s about safety and our community’s well-being. Our children deserve a safe place to play, just like any other area in Brownwood. A well-maintained park not only benefits the kids but also strengthens our community, offering a refuge for families to relax and connect.

We urge the local authorities to allocate funds and resources necessary for the renovation of Gladys Seward Park. Updates to the playground equipment, clearing of stickers, repainting, and ongoing maintenance would revitalize the park, ensuring that it is a safe, welcoming place for all.

By updating Gladys Seward Park, we’re not just improving our environment; we're showing our kids their happiness and safety matter. Please join us in calling for immediate action to restore our neighborhood park. Let’s give our children the joyful experience they deserve. Sign this petition to help bring about the change we need.
