Hey, Celina families and park enthusiasts! Say hello to Celina’s newly designed, state-of-the-art Old Celina Park Playground, created for families and visitors alike. Come out and experience the newly renovated Old Celina Park, where fun, connection, and community come together.

Bring the kids out to explore this modern, farm-inspired play area featuring slides, swings, climbing equipment, and plenty of space for imaginative fun. Designed for children of all ages, the playground is the perfect place for families to make new memories. Enjoy the fresh air, play together, and experience the newest addition to Old Celina Park, where fun and community grow side by side.

Completed in October 2025, the newly renovated Old Celina Park Playground offers a safe, vibrant, and welcoming space for children of all ages. While the design thoughtfully caters to children ages 2 to 12, the park provides enjoyment for everyone, including kids at heart. As city leaders shared, “The addition of this playground is more than an investment in park amenities. It reflects the City’s ongoing commitment to enhancing quality of life for our residents.”

With an emphasis on safety, fun, and vibrancy, the playground encourages imagination and active play. Upon arrival, visitors are welcomed by bright, cheerful colors that highlight the attention to detail throughout the park. Nearby walking and running trails, comfortable seating areas, and scenic views of grazing cattle add to the park’s charm. Located just minutes from downtown Celina and close to many well-known neighborhoods, Old Celina Park is easy to access and hard to leave.

The playground’s unique modern, farm-themed design pays homage to Celina’s agricultural roots. Throughout the park, you will notice playful elements inspired by tractors, barns, cornfields, silos, farm animals, ponds, and even music-making instruments. Each feature is carefully designed to promote learning, growth, and fun. As children play, the playground supports physical, mental, and social development in a safe and engaging environment.

Surrounded by additional amenities, including ponds, ample parking, sports fields, and trails, Old Celina Park offers something for everyone. Whether you are enjoying fresh air, soaking up the sun, watching your child play, practicing pickleball or volleyball, hosting a birthday party, picnicking with friends, or simply getting out of the house, the park invites you to relax, explore, and connect.

New features include wide-open spaces for scooters, rollerblading, and running, along with updated slides, swings, and climbing equipment. Visitors will also find plenty of seating and social areas, a free book library, and a dedicated netted court area with two movable pickleball nets and a volleyball court. Additional play features include hopscotch, four square, and long jump areas. When summer heats up, a water play area offers the perfect way to cool off. Together, these amenities foster movement, engagement, fun, and safety for parkgoers of all ages.

These updates were designed to encourage healthy, active lifestyles for children and families, strengthen community connections through a shared gathering space, and create a vibrant destination that will serve residents and visitors for years to come.
