City officials unveiled a new and improved Spring Avenue Park in Greensburg’s Fifth Ward Thursday.
The city began looking at rehabbing the 1.4-acre site in 2020.
Greensburg received about $600,000 in funding for the design and the construction through the city’s Community Development Block Grant program. Sports and Recreation Associates was awarded a $218,000 contract for new playground elements at Spring Avenue Park, including swings and slides.
Work included improvements to a basketball half court near Spring Avenue and an updated playground area farther from the street.
In addition to the Spring Avenue site, the city maintains seven other neighborhood playgrounds.
