We are thrilled to invite you to the dedication and grand reopening of the playground at Bailey Road Park on Thursday, October 5, at 10:00 am! The playground features a brand new silo, as well as a barn, ADA and multi-generational swings, and several other fantastic components that your child will love. We have also added a picnic shelter available for reservations. We hope you will come check it out and climb on the pigs that have found their way home again!
Up Next: This month we will begin the selection process for a new playground at Smithville Park, including some needed shade structures around the splash pad, with an expected reopen date in March 2018.
