City moves forward on a pair of $5 million parks

CAPE CORAL — Construction is underway on a pair of new parks in Cape Coral, a combined $5 million in projects.

Located four minutes from each other, the parks, Sands Park and Joe Coviello Park, formerly Oasis Woods Park, are projected to finish construction late 2022, according to a statement. The lead builder, Fort Myers-based Wright Construction, broke ground on the projects in late October. Joe Coviello Park is named for Cape Coral Mayor Joe Coviello, who died in January.
