Project Description

Music through the Bridge of Grace Capital Campaign.

- Two new playgrounds; one for pre-school and one for elementary school age kids.
- A Splash Pad.
- Covered pavilion and restrooms.
- A ¼ mile walking path and new pedestrian connections to the neighborhood.
- Two new basketball courts.
