HOWLAND The Howland Township Park Board is preparing for the second phase of the new Tiger Town and other park improvements this year.
Board Vice Chairman Shawn Pompelia said the second phase, expected to cost around $80,000, will be done in the spring. It will include additional play equipment and rubberized surface below the play area.
Board Chairwoman Jessica Gault said the board met Wednesday and approved DWA Recreation for playground equipment and curbing around the play area for the second phase.
He said the equipment needs to be ordered now for the spring.
The new Tiger Town is located closer to the entrance of the park as compared to the previous location in the northwest corner of the park, which had flooding issues.
