One project for the Pittsburg Parks and Recreation is nearing completion, and the community is getting its first look

One project for the Pittsburg Parks and Recreation is nearing completion, and the community is getting its first look. This weekend was the soft opening for the city’s new splash pad in Schlanger Park. The $325,000 project was funded through community donors and the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism. The splash pad was designed to have universal access so everyone in the community could enjoy it with or without a disability. Kim Vogel, Director of Parks and Recreation, says, “Regardless of age or ability, we want to make sure that everybody has the opportunity for recreation in Pittsburg, and that’s really the mission of the ‘Everybody Plays’ committee, is to make sure we’re creating inclusive safe places.”
