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.

But with new subdivisions under development, 2021 could shape up to be one of the countyâs best years for new home construction in decades.

Thatâs up from 97 total homes built in 2019, one of the countyâs slowest years in recent history. The 2020 numbers fell behind the 141 homes permitted in 2018, but beat the 113 homes started in 2017.
