Liberty Township Trustees approve thousands of dollars to improve Center Park

Liberty Township Trustees have approved thousands of dollars to improve Central Park.

The park is located behind the Liberty Township Administration Building and features several baseball fields, a playground and a walking track.

Township trustees say they got nearly $500,000 in ARP funding to help revamp the park by alleviating flooding and making repairs. Road Superintendent Wayne Hickman says this is a huge win for the township.

"You don't get an opportunity like this to use almost half a million dollars to improve a park, so to have this opportunity to get these funds and make improvements and try to make this park a crown jewel once again is huge for the township," Hickman said.

Hickman says once drainage work is done, the township will prioritize the aesthetics of the park.
