State Officially Announces Grant For Century Playground
November 7, 2014
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection official announced 51 grants Thursday in 26 counties for outdoor recreational purposes.
The only grant in the Pensacola area was a $50,000 for playground equipment at Showalter Park in Century.
As NorthEscambia.com reported last month, the Town of Century has already ordered a new playground set for Showalter Park from bidder J.A. Dawson & Co., as recommended by the Century Recreation Committee.
The labor to demolish the existing playground and install the new equipment will be provided by the town, saving grant dollars and allowing for the purchase of more equipment.
The town is also applying for a Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program grant to install a splash pad at Showalter Park.
