PARKS AND REC INSTALLS TEMPORARY JUNGLE GYM AFTER $50,000 SET WAS TORCHED

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

Vandalism-plagued Harry McNair Park on Levee Street between E. 4th and 5th streets is getting a temporary jungle gym after the original $50,000 playground fixture was destroyed by a fire this past Thanksgiving Day.

 Brownsville Parks and Recreation Department workers cleaned up the charred remains of the jungle gym since and have now installed the temporary park fixture while they acquire a new replacement. 

Brownsville Police report that no one was hurt, but the park’s $50,000 jungle gym was destroyed.

The city said this was not the first time the park was vandalized. and say they  they’re investigating the fire.

“We've had vandalism here before, more recently with one of our fountains here,” Brownsville Parks and Recreation Director Sean De Palma told a news station. “We have a public fountain and there's graffiti and so forth, and we're just asking the community to partner with us."

De Palma said said it'll be there for at least a year before a permanent replacement piece is brought in.

If you know anything, call Brownsville police at 956-548-7000.

You sound full of anger and fury. However, much of what you say is true. You can't blame people for having hope.

Trump will always lie ! He says he will deport all illegal immigrants , but they are the ones that constructed most of his skyscrapers ( and never paid them as per reports). He promised he would lower grocery prices on day one and now he is backtracking on that promise “ I can not guarantee anything when it comes to lowering prices”. Yada yada. The guillotine is coming and only Trumps billionaire friends will benefit/survive. All you MAGA followers took the bait —-“hook, line and sinker!!! Just wait and see . He’ll throw a few crumbs your way but the big picture will only benefit HIMSELF and his friends.

Why so much anger towards so called gringos? In 2022' the white population in this country was 59.3% and the hispanic population was 18.9%. You are definitely outnumbered. Go back to Mexico and find your happiness.

It's costing tax payers way too much money to maintain our city parks which are constantly being vandalized by the losers in our city. Instead, use this money to properly repair our streets. Who cares about parks? If you have kids take them to the Main Even. Now if you can't afford it, get another job! Easy fix.

I saw Trump backing out on the "lowering of prices" and laughed. How the voters believed his BS is mind blowing. Oh well " I will survive." Just look ahead.
