After a four-year delay, the Northwest Territory Playground at Washington School in Marietta will finally be renovated.
The original design plans in 2017 had a projected cost of $1.5 million on the city-owned park.
“We’ve raised a little over $100,000,” said LeeAnn Johnson, a Fountain Foundation member. “(But) we have completely condensed the project from the original design in 2017.
The Fountain Foundation formed as a fundraising nonprofit with eyes on the playground, including the renaming of the city asset after momentum from 2017.
