Kiwanis Park in Clinton in recent years has recently been the center of attention because of its disrepair and a community effort just a few years ago helped restore much of the aging playground.

At this week's Clinton City Council meeting, Commissioner of Public Safety Dan Ballenger indicated they are getting close to having to tear some of it down because it is a safety issue.

Funds held by the Chamber of Commerce for Kiwanis Park from when it was built were left over and ended up being used to help repair some of the equipment.

A social media push at that time helped save the park from being torn down.
