Board debates grant availability and potential park at 101 Echo Street

Oct 14, 2026

Members reviewed cost items tied to a Tapscott rebuild (equipment removal $45,000; concrete removal $16,000) and discussed using city‑owned land at 101 Echo Street for a new park if grant requirements and funding allow; no funding decision was made and the item was tabled pending more information.

The full story

Board members and the consultant discussed whether Tapscott Park work would be a refurbishment or a complete rebuild and whether grant funding would cover a rebuild. The consultant described removal and replacement line items and said the firm is responsible for designing and installing playground elements; funding and grants would be discussed by city council.
