KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Knoxville city leaders agreed to fund several projects and initiatives Tuesday evening.
They agreed on spending $450,000 on a new Fort Kid playground. The agreement was with Murfreesboro-based Great Southern Recreation for the design and construction of a new play structure after the original Fort Kid was demolished in 2020 for several hazards and safety concerns.
The new play structure at Fort Kid will be located between 11th Street and World’s Fair Park Drive on the western edge of downtown.
