The new features bring an opportunity for families to get together and enjoy the community.
"This is very important to the city, just to be able to provide a space for families to come. You know, it's free," said city manager Billy Poe. "As you'll see through this, the amount of use that the park's getting. Today, it's a Thursday morning, 10 o'clock in the morning. It's amazing. And to be able to provide this for the citizens, to have a place to come, to be able to have that family time that I think is so important, especially to, you know, nowadays, to have that family time, to raise the kids upright, it's extremely important."
The 12-acre park also pays homage to the city's history, honoring the Hercules Powder Company that was located on Camp 39 many years ago.
