A new pier isn t the only upgrade coming to Cole Park.
The Corpus Christi City Council agreed to a public-safety overhaul for one of the city s most popular outdoor spaces, looking to stem the recent uptick in crime in the park.
âYou donât want a negative image of Corpus Christi, because Cole Park isnât a dangerous place,â said Corpus Christi Chief of Police Mike Markle.
Markle said the park will receive extra security, but that won t only come in the form of more police officers at the park. It also includes more lighting, cameras, or even a gate.
