Century Accepts Ceremonial Check For New $50K Splash Pad
October 20, 2015
As previously reported on NorthEscambia.com, Century received a $50,000 grant from the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program to install a splash pad at Showalter Park.
Monday night, the town was presented a ceremonial check from the state .
More than $5.4 million was announced by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for 110 recreational development projects in local communities across the state. Century’s splash pad project was the only grant recipient in Escambia County. The competitive grant program provides state funds to develop lands for public outdoor recreational use, such as building or renovating sports facilities or playgrounds.

Proud to see it !!
This was going long before the doctor.
How ironic that the same corporation, Florida’s D.E.P. that wants to shut down our town Doctor, now wants to give Century a “Splash Pad”…I guess that’s our parting gift.
Stupid stupid stupid $20,000 for a website and 50
thousand dollars A splash pad stupid stupid stupid
Well, this makes sense. A Doctor that the community desperately needs is being evicted, but a $50,000 splash pad will be operational. Too bad the kiddos who contract MRSA or some other contagion from the splash pad won’t have a Dr. to treat them.
