The Department of Parks and Recreation will host a blessing and reopening of the Arthur L. Greenwell Park playground at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 17.

The renovated playground features all new play equipment, including spinners, a large basket swing, and various challenging climbing structures. In addition, a new synthetic turf safety surfacing system was installed, and walkways were reconfigured, resulting in a playground that meets Americans with Disability Act (ADA) standards.
