West Guth Park Shade Structures in Corpus Christi, TX

The West Guth Park Shade Structures project is a new construction effort at 9725 Up River Road in Corpus Christi, valued at $801,080. This City of Corpus Christi initiative covers 3,000 square feet of work, calculated at $267 per square foot. The primary goal is to replace aging infrastructure with modern amenities for park users.

The scope of work involves the demolition of 11 existing concrete foundations and their connecting sidewalks.

Additionally, one standalone shade structure with its own foundation is part of the build. Hanson Professional Services, Inc. serves as the design firm of record for this undertaking.
