Work on improvements that has been taking place at Leinwand Park in Elizabethtown is nearing completion. On Tuesday paving was wrapping up on the parking area located across the street from Leinwand Park on Swanzy Street. Elizabethtown Town Manager Eddie Madden said the walking trails located on the Swanzy Street property have also been paved.
The improvements are part of a $215,000 Parks and Recreation Trust Fund grant. Madden said in an earlier interview the town was able to use in-kind donations of land for the town’s match for the grant.
The town also budgeted funds to construct a concession stand, restroom, and storage building for Dixie Youth at the park. Those items were not part of the original PARTf grant.
Other improvements at the park include a children’s playground and picnic shelter located across the street from the park on the Swanzy Street property.
