HugYourPeople Community Park Receives $100,000 Improvements from State Appropriations

Posted by zachary on June 14, 2024

The HugYourPeople Community Park at 4412 Lee Street will be closed from June 10, 2024, to June 13, 2024, to install concrete for a new all-inclusive slide.

Mayor David McDavid expressed his profound gratitude to our state legislators for securing a $100,000 grant from the 2023 State Appropriations for the city's HugYourPeople Community public park. "This funding will enable us to install all-inclusive playground equipment, including a new slide that allows children of all abilities to play and enjoy themselves independently. This project is a significant step toward creating a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all our young residents.

Additionally, for the safety of our children visiting the park, a beautiful iron fence now fully encloses this wonderful community space. We thank our legislators, State Senator Caleb Kleinpeter, State Senator Regina Barrow, State Representative Barbara Carpenter, State Representative Roy Daryl Adams, and State Representative Kellee Hennessy Dickerson, for their continued support and commitment to our community's well-being."
