CARTHAGE, Texas (KTRE) - Officials say a park everyone can enjoy is in the works in Panola County. Funding for phase one of an all-abilities park is near completion. With the closest accessible park located in Tyler, they say this park could serve thousands of people in Panola County and the surrounding counties.
About two years ago, Panola College’s Director of Institutional Advancement Jessica Pace says students in the College’s Occupational Therapy Assistant Program wanted a place for all ages and abilities to enjoy, as well as a spot that could be used as an outdoor learning environment.
