Stewart Park Improvements

The City of Beaumont prides itself on offering parks and recreation services that address the needs of the community.  At the center of the historic downtown area of the City is Stewart Park, home to the annual Freedom Festival. To keep up with population growth and further enhance the quality of life for its residents, the City has begun the construction and renovation of Stewart Park.

 Stewart Park expands across three city blocks and is located between Eighth and Eleventh Streets between Orange and Maple Avenues. The top two portions of Stewart Park between Ninth Street and Eleventh Street will also be utilized as detention basins during rain events. As part of these renovations, the City approved a continuous park concept by vacating Ninth and Tenth Streets, which historically divided Stewart Park.

 The renovations and improvements to Stewart Park will be done in two phases. Phase I will include concrete walking trails throughout the length of the park, picnic pavilions, multi-generational and inclusive playground equipment with shade structures, a splash pad that can be utilized year-round, a new restroom building, improved lighting, and increased parking facilities. Phase II will focus on a secondary playground, enhancements to the skate park, relocation of the basketball court, bandshell, pickleball striping, and picnic shelters.
