Littles-Martin House Renovations
Parks and Recreation is requesting funding for the renovation of the Littles-
Martin House. The home was relocated to Heritage Park area which is
located within an eligible CDBG census tract. Heritage Park contains
historic homes that are registered in the National Registry. The Littles-
Martin home is not eligible for historic preservation because it was
relocated from another site. However, Littles-Martin is a registered
landmark. Heritage Park is Corpus Christi's historic park which hosts and
supports many art and cultural activities, as well as a variety of community
events throughout the year. The home was restored by the National
Association of Colored People (NAACP) to serve as its Corpus Christi
headquarters. However, significant weather events have damaged the
home. Littles-Martin was approved for $343,485 in the FY24/PY23 Annual
Action Plan but due to the extent of the damage, additional funds are
needed.

The proposed project will enhance Ben Garza Gymnasium. The
Gymnasium is located on the grounds of Ben Garza Park and provides
recreational space for the immediate neighborhood which includes single
family homes, apartments, homeless shelters and assisted housing units.
The gym and covered pavilion sit in the middle of the park providing
opportunities for programs such as basketball, volleyball and pickleball
leagues. The park is listed as a major investment park in the 2012 Parks
and Recreation Master Plan. The Ben Garza Gymnasium recently installed
new gym flooring installed as part of the initial improvements. Parks is
completing facility improvements with bathroom/locker room renovations.

impacts of chronic disease (diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc.).
Recent improvements to the park and the Gymnasium will complete this
park area by addressing an underserved area of the community. This
project was approved for $455,336 of CDBG in FY2022 to make the
bathroom improvements and replace the roof. The roof was replaced with
other funds. The bathroom/locker room renovation cost bids, at $512,968,
