Slayter Creek Park Playground Renovation

The City of Anna is renovating the playground at Slayter Creek Park, a project registered with TDLR in September 2026. The renovation involves the replacement and expansion of the playground equipment and surfacing across a site of 13,124 sq ft. The estimated cost for this work is $1,400,000, equating to $107 per square foot. Construction is scheduled to begin in September 2026 and is targeted for November 2026.

Located at 425 W Rosamond Pkwy in Anna, Texas, the project sits in Collin County. This specific renovation filing is distinct from the City of Anna’s other recent TDLR-registered projects, which include a skatepark and pump track at the same park, a hike and bike trail, and various infrastructure improvements.

Child's Play, Inc. is the design firm of record for this project. Jeffrey A Gutknecht serves as the registered accessibility specialist. The project involves public funds and public land. The scope is strictly limited to the renovation and alteration of the existing playground area, focusing on safety surfacing and equipment updates.

In comparison to other renovation and alteration filings in Collin County, this project’s estimated cost is above the county median. The median estimated cost for similar work in the county is $220,000, while the median size is 3,418 sq ft. The median cost per square foot for these projects is $78, making the $107 per square foot for Slayter Creek Park higher than the typical rate. The scheduled build window of 80 days is close to the county median of 92 days.

The City of Anna has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $6,178,512. These include the Hike and Bike Trail at Carol Park, 4th Street improvements, and the Electrical/SCADA Lab Building. The current status of the Slayter Creek Park renovation is Project Registered. Plan review is pending, and the timeline remains focused on the completion date set in the filing.
