Last week, the City of Clinton announced it would be demolishing Kiwanis Park and rebuilding it.

The fact the park would be rebuilt was stressed by the Clinton City Council Tuesday night. Commissioner Dan Ballenger says the wood of the roughly 25-year-old playground is simply unsafe.

Commissioner John Wise asked Commissioner Ballenger to address some things brought up on social media regarding some markers that are at the park of historical significance for those who helped construct the park many years ago.

Commissioner Ballenger indicates when the time comes to construct the new park, they will be seeking volunteers to help. In the meantime, the Council put on file proposals for the playground to be approved at next month's meeting.
