You may have noticed the work underway to replace the sand in the playground at the park. This is part of the Buffalo County Park Improvement Grant. We wish the sand could be replaced with playground rubber, pea gravel, etc. but those are out of reach financially. Replacement with new sand was grant approved and we will have to accept that for now. Some new playgound equipment was also approved and will be installed in the Spring. The old drinking fountain will be removed and, as previously reported, the park water filter system has been upgraded and a drinking fountain/bottle filler added. The ball field will require some work in the Spring but that is not grant funded so will be dependent on budget limits and volunteer help. THE TOWN NEEDS SOME CITIZENS WHO WILL REORGANIZE A PARK COMMITTEE AND OVERSEE PARK ACTIVITY AND DEVELOPMENT.
