5. A Facelift is being done at Weddel Park, with New Playground Pieces, Wear Mats under the Swings, and Blown in Wood Fiber with Border under the Play Structure.
It’s been a strong year with getting things updated, repaired and replaced. I am trying to whatever we can with the funds that are available. There is still a lot more that needs to be done, and we will keep moving forward. We will be working on grants to get the larger priced items done and that is our next stage. I will work hard to keep communicating all of these wonderful happenings to you! It’s our time to SHINE!
