Castle Dale wins $200,000 Outdoor Rec grant for all-abilities park, groundbreaking set for June
Summary
Mayor Danny Van Wagoner announced a $200,000 Outdoor Recreation grant for an all-abilities park in Castle Dale; groundbreaking is planned for the second week of June and the city also accepted a donation of two shares of water toward housing.
Castle Dale announced May 14 that it received a full $200,000 Outdoor Recreation grant to build an all-abilities park, Mayor Danny Van Wagoner told the council. The city plans a groundbreaking in the second week of June.
Van Wagoner said the grant award will fund an inclusive recreation area designed to accommodate users of varying abilities. At the same meeting the mayor also noted a donation of two shares of water that will be applied toward housing projects; the transcript does not provide further detail on how the water shares will be used.
Why it matters: A dedicated all-abilities park would expand recreational access for residents with mobility and sensory needs and represents a significant, externally funded capital investment for the small city.
Next steps: City staff and the contractor selected for the project are expected to complete pre-construction steps ahead of a June groundbreaking; council did not record further approvals in this meeting record.
