The Atlantic Kiwanis Organization has agreed to pay for the installation of playground equipment near the Little League ballpark. Parks and Rec Director Roger Herring said the group asked the City to play a role in the process. The Kiwanis want the City to maintain the playground equipment. Herring said the answer to that is “…of course, yes.” A rubber matting will be laid down as a cushion to prevent injury if a child should fall near the equipment.

The group will give the Parks and Rec Department money that’s been raised. Herring will then order the equipment and the Department will oversee its installation. The Parks and Rec Board approved the proposal as presented.
