Work at Vrooman Park is nearly complete

                The refurbished playground at Vrooman Park in Eastpoint is now open to the public and work on the expanded T-ball field is nearly complete, just in time for baseball and softball season.

County workers recently completed work on the Vrooman Park playground – the existing playground equipment was repaired and moved to the front of the park and the county added some new equipment including slides and monkey bars.

Moving the playground required tearing down two small pavilions at the site – those were replaced by a new pole barn.

Moving the childrens’ playground is part of a larger project to renovate Vrooman Park and add a new T-ball field.

The T-ball field project includes replacing the existing T-ball field, which is too small, with a regulation sized field with all of the required fencing.

County parks director Fonda Davis said the work on the field is about 90 percent complete.

The county will also soon install handicapped parking signs near the gates at Vrooman Park and at the DW Wilson Sports Complex in Apalachicola.
