The Shawnee County Parks and Recreation Department received commission approval to move forward with surfacing at the Gage Park Playland.
Parks Director Tim Lorett asked the board to approve contract C2026277 with TaylorMade Co., funded by Gage Park sales-tax funds, at a cost of $437,238.61 for roughly 25,399 square feet of safety surfacing.
