West Park Playground Nears Completion
Volunteers from t
he Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) Foundation and Kids Around the World are nearing completion of construction on the new playground equipment in West Park at West Morris and Tremont Streets. Working since early Monday morning, the workers have constructed the elaborate, $50,000 GameTime playground complex and poured concrete into the bases. They are now are busy spreading 12 inches of special wood-chip mulch within the 60 x 100 foot area that is bounded by a thick wood frame.
Dedication for the playground is set for 10 am on Friday, May 1.
West Park is owned and maintained by West Morris Street Free Methodist Church, 2302 West Morris Street. It is an 8-acre piece of ground with a grove of shade trees along West Morris Street and the west side of the property. The park runs extends from West Morris Street at the south end to Wilkins Street at its north end. In addition to the playground, there is a softball diamond, soccer goals, and a volleyball net.
The park and playground are open for use to neighbors. The chuch desires that West Park be a safe, inviting place for all in the West Indianapolis community. We request that the property be kept free of alcohol, drugs, and violence.
What a great project…and I love the volleyball net.
