Youth / News for the 18-and-under crowd

Kids and parents who go to George Bellis Park this spring will find $40,000 worth of new playground equipment.

Made of metal and heavy plastic, the new playground gear will include a suspension bridge, decks, spiral slides and other state-of-the-art kid stuff.

The city had budgeted federal block grant money to pay for the new equipment, but the council was able to save those dollars when the county awarded residents a $50,000 urban parks grant.

Recreation and Parks Director Wes Morgan said the equipment should be ready by June.
