Hunter Park in Vernon is due to get some new features.
A $200,000 grant from the state will go towards the construction of a splash pad, new covered picnic table, new benches, and renovating the current basketball court and restrooms.
The Washington County Board of County Commissioners approved the grant and plans during a meeting on Dec. 14.
The improvements were referred to as phase one. The park is specifically at 3193 Moss Hill Road and currently has two shaded seating areas, a playground for kids, bathrooms, and a bench.
The expected completion date is April 30, 2026.
