A New Park in Yakima on the Agenda For The Yakima City Council

After a holiday Monday the Yakima city council meets on Tuesday to take care of city business. The meeting starts at 5:30 pm at Yakima City Hall and it's a short agenda for the council.

A NEW PARK IN YAKIMA?

The council is expected to talk about and approve a grant agreement with the Washington State Department of Commerce to fund the construction of a new park named Gloria's Park. The park is proposed for an area near the SOZO Sports complex on 36th Avenue. Officials say SOZO will build the park using funds from the $225,000 grant. When it's finished it'll be open to the public with restrooms, a playground and picnic area.
