The new playground equipment will be paid for through a $1 million Community Block Development Grant. Other projects funded by the grant include grading for the new playground equipment, parking lot paving, a concrete walkway, new benches, and new trash receptacles.
The new playground will feature ADA accessible playground equipment.
