Improvements Continue At Showalter Park In Century
February 14, 2016
The Town of Century is continuing to make improvement at Showalter Park.
Last year, the town opened a new playground funded with a $50,000 grant from the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program. The labor to demolish the previous playground and install the new equipment was provided by the town and state inmate labor, saving grant dollars and allowing for the purchase of more equipment.
Century received a $50,000 grant, also from the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program, to install a splash pad at Showalter Park. It is expected that the new splash pad will be open by this summer
Now, during this winter season, the town is using inmate labor to construct a restroom facility at the park.

This is a Big Plus for Century and the area.
Anytime that Inmate Labor can be used is a win-win situation with the reduced costs for the projects and the pride of accomplishment and use of skills by the inmates.
