City park tops in county

Monday night the El Campo Public Works Department took the spotlight at city council. Eight men are directly responsible for El Campo’s Legacy Park on the West Loop being named the top park in the 2022 Best of Wharton County contest. Those eight men are Edward Montalvo, Corey Granados, Juan B. Leal Jr., Jose Rodriguez, Vance Miller, Jose Lemus, Dustin Flores and City Public Works Director Kevin Thompson. The city’s newest park, Legacy uses an agricultural theme in its playground with climbing “hay bales,” a barn and farm yard with animal sculptures and much more.
