The Magic Mountain Playground at Coyote Point Recreation Area, known for its tall tower, swings and toothy purple sea creature, will be replaced after a $3.8 million project was approved 5-0 Tuesday by the Board of Supervisors.
Built in 2006, the playground no longer meets current safety and accessibility standards and is at the end of its useful life. The project will replace it with a modern, inclusive play space designed for children of all ages and abilities, along with improvements to surrounding areas to enhance access, circulation and the overall visitor experience.
Located within the 149-acre Coyote Point Recreation Area, the playground is one of the county’s most popular amenities. The project is funded through a combination of federal funding and Measure K, a voter-approved half-cent sales tax dedicated to supporting local priorities.
To fill the recreation void during Magic Mountain’s closure, the county plans to install additional recreational features, including a temporary pump track.
Numerous features, including the purple sea creatures, will be incorporated into the new design. Work is expected to begin this spring following the design phase, with construction anticipated to be complete by the end of the year.
