BELTON, Texas (KXXV) — The city of Belton approved spending $195,530 in playground equipment, which includes two play structures, one for 2-5-year-olds and another for 5-12-year-olds.
Equipment is listed as a tower, seesaw, merry-go-round, and a hill slide. According to the city, the equipment meets the requirements of the $750,000 Texas Parks and Wildlife Department grant received for the project and fits into the park design.
This project started in April when the council was awarded $1.47 million bid to TTG Utilities to turn mostly vacant land into a park. That bid includes lighting, open play lawns, landscaping, and walking trails, but, excludes prefabricated restroom and playground components as a result of determining city staff could receive those items through purchasing cooperatives.
The standpipewill serve as a giant feature with the playground projected to be installed in November. The park is located at 912 Hughes St, Belton, TX 76513.
