LIGONIER â Users of Kenney Park will soon be able to cook out for their picnics with the addition of two new stationary charcoal grills near a pavilion. The board of works approved the purchase Wednesday.
The two new grills will be installed on concrete pads and have a container nearby to safely dispose of hot ashes. Each grill costs about $240. Park employees will build the forms for the concrete pads.
Parks director Travis Brimhall said the goal of having the grills is to keep families using the parks, with the added convenience of a charcoal grill for cookouts. He suggested installing the two grills in Kenney Park as a trial. More grills could be added in other locations if the demand is there.
