A lighting project at three City of Yakima parks is nearing completion and will be celebrated during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 7:00 pm next Monday, October 2nd<\/sup>, at Kiwanis Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will mark completion of a partnership with local Rotary clubs providing lights at the Kiwanis Park skate park and basketball courts, Chesterley Park skate park and the Randall Park basketball court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll three Rotary Clubs, plus the Rotary Trust, committed over $170,000 for the lighting of these park facilities so they can be used into the evening hours,\u201d said Parks and Recreation Manager Ken Wilkinson. \u201cThe City appreciates this generosity, which allows these recreation amenities to be used more as our daylight hours decrease in the fall and winter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiwanis Park is located at 1501 E. Maple St.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Information about each of the City parks referenced above is available at Yakima Parks and Recreation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will mark Yakima Parks & Recreation\u2019s second ribbon-cutting ceremony in just over three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 22nd<\/sup>, the City celebrated completion of a public\/private partnership at Miller Park<\/a> that included new rims, backboards, lighting and fencing for basketball courts; performance area, walkways, restrooms, playground, picnic shelter and free-standing mosaics.<\/p>\n\n\n
