HOT SPRINGS – Aided by the support of local legislators, the City of Hot Springs recently accepted a $41,000 General Improvement Fund (GIF) check from West Central Arkansas Planning & Development District for additional infield improvements to Kimery Park.

The funding will enable installation of a “pour in place” safety base which will make the park’s total infield playing surface fully accessible to the disabled. The material, already in use on the playgrounds at Kimery and Whittington city parks, will provide a fall rating of six feet, serving as a warning track for players and creating safer playing conditions. Installation of the new safety base will complete the infield rehabilitation project at Kimery Park that was initiated earlier this year.
