A big park renovation is coming to Alpine
Body
Alpine currently has 12 city parks, but later this year one in particular will be getting a dramatic renovation. Pueblo Nuevo, which sits in the southeast corner of Alpine just east of Jackson Field, will be rebuilt from the ground up. Renovations are set to include a community pavilion, children’s play equipment, and a senior ADA-approved exercise section. A half-basketball court and walking paths are also in the plans. The project is a partnership through the City of Alpine and a Texas Parks & Wildlife grant originally submitted in November 2020.

There is a story in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke that tell a time on a mountain when Jesus is seen, at least for a moment, as his most real self: both as human & also as God with us & for us, then & now & forever. For disciples, Peter, James and John, this was a preview of Christ’s glory.
