          WE ARE HERE IN WAGMAN. 
          WE ARE HERE FOR THIS GRAND OPENING OF THIS NEW BEAUTIFUL PARK. 
          WE WANTED TO BEAUTIFY THIS PLACE BECAUSE THIS LAND HAD JUST BEEN SITTING HERE FOR SO LONG AND BECAUSE OF THE, THE GOOD FOLKS HERE IN WAG AND THEY SAW A USE FOR IT AND WE DECIDED THAT LET'S DO IT. 
          SO HERE WE ARE THREE AND A HALF YEARS LATER AND, UH, WE'RE SO PROUD. 
          WE KNOW THAT THE CITIZENS UP HERE, THE RESIDENTS UP HERE, ARE EXCITED ABOUT UTILIZING THIS PARK, NOT ONLY TO HAVE, UH, FAMILY PICNICS AND BARBECUES UNDER THE SHELTERS, BUT ALSO, UH, WE HAVE THE WORLD CLASS VOLLEYBALL PARK HERE IN HERE. 
          WE HAVE A NEW PARKING LOT. 
          WE PUT IN THIS WALKING TRACK THAT, UH, GOES AROUND THE ENTIRE PARK. 
          AND SO THAT, ALONG WITH ALSO WITH OUTDOOR EXERCISE EQUIPMENT, UH, FOR OUR RESIDENTS WHO, WHO WANT TO ENJOY NOT ONLY WALKING BUT STRETCHING, BUT ALSO WORKING WITH THOSE TYPE OF WEIGHTS. 
          THIS PROJECT, $3.4 MILLION, UH, IS WE ALLOCATED TO THIS PROJECT. 
          THIS IS THE KENNEDY HEIGHTS PLAYGROUND, BETTER KNOWN AS STANLEY SCHOFIELD PLAYGROUND, RIGHT HERE IN AVONDALE. 
          AND THEY NEEDED A NEW CONCESSION STAND BECAUSE THE CONCESSION STAND WOULD SERVE AS A PLACE WHEREAS NOT ONLY THE VOLUNTEERS WHO SUPPORT THE KIDS DURING THE, UH, FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL SEASON, BASEBALL SEASON, BUT ALSO AS A SOURCE TO BE ABLE TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE BOOSTER ORGANIZATION. 
          WE LOOK AT THIS AS A CATALYST FOR MORE PEOPLE COMING TO PARTICIPATE OVER HERE AS VOLUNTEERS, BUT ALSO, UH, A GREATER DEGREE OF INVOLVEMENT FROM THE COMMUNITY. 
          QUALITY OF LIFE MEANS SO MUCH TO THE FOLKS IN AVONDALE AS WELL AS EVERYBODY ON THE WEST BANK AND SO, AND, AND THE EAST BANK. 
          AND SO WE ARE DOING THOSE TYPE OF THINGS THAT ENHANCES PEOPLE'S QUALITY OF LIFE LOT.
