WE, UH, STARTED PLANNING THIS A FEW YEARS BACK AND WE ARE SO GLAD TO BE HERE NOW AND THAT, UH, WE ARE LOOKING AT SOMETHING VERY BEAUTIFUL.
WE MADE A DECISION A FEW YEARS BACK THAT WE WANTED TO BEAUTIFY THIS PARK.
WE PAINTED THE BU, GOT THE BUILDING PAINTED SO IT WOULD BE MORE ATTRACTIVE.
AND NOW WE ARE IN OUR SECOND PHASE, WHEREAS, AS YOU ALL SEE, WE HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL TOT LOT HERE ON THIS PROPERTY.
BUT THEN ALSO WE HAVE OUR WALKING TRACK FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO WALK AND GET THEIR EXERCISE.
AND THEN WE ARE ALSO GOING TO HAVE THAT SIGN OVER THERE, BUT WE'RE GONNA HAVE A L E D SCREEN ON THERE.
WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS COMMUNITY BEING ONE OF THE OLDEST NEIGHBORHOODS AND ONE THAT WAS NAMED AFTER RALPH BUNCH, CONTINUES TO GET ITS NOTORIETY AND BE A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WILL KNOW THEY'RE, THEY'RE LIVING IN A HISTORIC AREA.
WE KNOW THAT OUR PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS ARE WHERE OUR CHILDREN BEGAN.
THAT'S WHERE I STARTED, AND THAT'S WHERE THEY HAVE A, BASICALLY A REFUGE WHERE THERE ARE, THEY'RE SHELTERED FROM THE TYPE OF THINGS THAT THEY COULD GET INTO.
THE COST TO DO THIS PHASE OF THE PROJECT WAS $383,000.
THE NEXT PHASE WE ARE LOOKING AT SPENDING ABOUT 120,000 WITH THE OUTDOOR EXERCISE EQUIPMENT.
WE ALSO HAVE ADDED, AS YOU ALL SEE, THE HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE PARKING THAT WASN'T THERE BEFORE.
THAT WAS ANOTHER THING THAT WE WANTED TO ADD TO MAKE SURE THAT NOBODY WAS LEFT OUT.
THIS IS THE END OF OUR PROGRAM AND I WANT YOU ALL TO ENJOY THIS.
