Concrete was poured on Thursday morning at the Equity Bank Sports Complex for the Splash Pad and the all-inclusive playground. The matching grant was awarded by the Office of Outdoor Recreation within the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism and the Kiwanis Club. NWAEDD helped with preparing the grant application. Thank you to all parties involved. The neighborhood, and families of visiting team members will love this updated playground. 37 yards of concrete was poured today for the Splash Pad. Very interesting project with the pumper truck and concrete truck squeezing into tight areas of the complex. But they did it, and the park will be enjoyed very soon!
