Coleman Park Phase-1 Done
Estero Bay News
May 22, 2026
Well, there’s a new addition to Coleman Park that’s sure to make a splash—and not just because of the bay views. According to the *Estero Bay News*, crews from J Bruce Kies Construction, CXT Precast Concrete Products, and Bragg Crane Service recently lifted and dropped into place a brand-new, pre-fabricated restroom, marking the completion of Phase 1 at the park. For anyone who’s ever juggled a beach towel and a toddler on a sunny Saturday, this is the kind of quiet upgrade that makes a real difference in our daily lives.
It’s easy to overlook a restroom, but for a park that sees everything from morning dog walks to sunset picnics, having a clean, permanent facility means more time enjoying the shoreline and less time planning around logistics. This phase sets the stage for future improvements, and it’s a reminder that our local parks are getting the thoughtful care they deserve. Next time you’re strolling past the Coleman Park playground or watching the otters bob in the harbor, you can thank the crews—and local planning—for making our little slice of the Central Coast just a bit more welcoming.

Morro BayMBHS Named Among Top U.S. High Schools
Big news for our little corner of the coast — Morro Bay High School has been named among the top high schools in the country, and honestly, it's about time our students and teachers got that kind of recognition. Anyone who's walked past that administration building on Atascadero Road knows there's something special happening inside, even if the fog rolls in and hides it half the year. For those of us who've watched kids grow up here — from the tide pools to the track meets — this is a point of real pride. It's a reminder that a small town on Highway 1 can hold its own against schools ten times its size. Credit to the staff, the families, and yes, the students who put in the work. Estero Bay News had the story first, and we're glad to pass it along. Whether you're a parent, alum, or just someone who loves this town, take a moment to feel good about it. Go Pirates.
Morro BayOur Stories: Discovering the Morro Bay National Estuary Program
If you've ever walked the sand near The Cloisters, you know that stretch of shoreline is one of Morro Bay's quiet treasures. A crew of volunteers spent 2023 giving back to it, showing up for regular beach and waterway cleanup days hosted by the Morro Bay National Estuary Program. Estero Bay News recently spotlighted their efforts, and it's a good reminder of the steady, unglamorous work that keeps our bay healthy. The Estuary Program has long been a backbone of conservation here, protecting the eelgrass, the birds, and the water we all love. But it's the neighbors who show up with buckets and gloves who make it real. If you've been meaning to get involved, consider this your nudge — check the Estuary Program's volunteer calendar and join the next cleanup. Our bay doesn't clean itself. See you out there.
