McCracken County Fiscal Court voted Sept. 8 to award a playground equipment contract to Miracle Recreation of Kentucky and Tennessee for two age‑related playgrounds at Long Oak Park, for a contract amount recorded on the docket as $2,224,357. The vendor was selected based on a cooperative purchasing agreement (recorded in the minutes with reference number 101521‑LTS). The order authorizes the judge‑executive to sign the contract and the treasurer to pay invoices.

Court discussion identified the site as the two acres donated to the county by the Lions Club and described the project as an upgrade and replacement for dated equipment. County representatives said the playground scope includes a poured‑in‑place rubber safety surface (described in the meeting as roughly 35,000 square feet) and separate equipment for the 2–5 age group. County staff told the court the contractor expected to complete the work around November 2025.

County officials framed the contract as part of broader parks and sports‑facility investments the court has made, noting related work on ballpark lighting, fencing and other park improvements. The court recorded an affirmative vote and instructed the judge‑executive to execute necessary documents; the treasurer was authorized to process payments. The record does not specify construction start date, funding sources beyond the cooperative purchase selection, or warranty terms; those details were not discussed on the Sept. 8 docket.
