Lions Park Playground is now open
After several delays caused by Mother Nature, we are happy to announce that the Lions Park playground safety updates are now complete, and the area is open for use. The fencing around the playground will come down tomorrow, but you can access the park amenities now.
Among the improvements is a new slide and resurfacing of the playground area.
Little players probably won't notice a difference, but the grown-ups watching them swing, play and slide can take comfort knowing the playground is safer than ever for the kiddos.
Thanks for your patience!
