Cottonwood Shores parks will soon include new picnic tables and barbecue pits built through a partnership with Marble Falls High School agriculture mechanics students.
The city provided materials, while the students completed construction as part of their structures, equipment, and practicum class under teacher Trey Hartsock. The finished pieces are expected to be installed in city parks in upcoming weeks.
“These are excellent additions to our parks and will add convenience for visitors,” City Manager JC Hughes said in a media release.
The collaboration is part of an ongoing partnership between the city and Marble Falls’ agriculture mechanics program that began in 2021. The agriculture mechanics program is part of a Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathway that provides students hands-on instruction in designing, building, and repairing equipment and structures.
