U.S. REP. JIM MCGOVERN ANNOUNCES $111,000 TO RENOVATE HOLLISTON PLAYGROUND
U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern today announced that the National Park Service has awarded $111,587 to renovate the playground at Goodwill Park.
The playground is part of a 4.9 acre park that has tennis courts, a ballfield, and open play space. Each piece of play equipment will be accessible for children in wheelchairs or with sensory disabilities.
-I have long been a strong champion for the Land and Water Conservation Fund, and I'm pleased that Holliston will be receiving this federal funding,- Rep. McGovern said. -Preserving open space isn't just about huge parcels of land out west - families in urban and suburban communities deserve safe, open green space as well. I look forward to visiting Goodwill Park soon.-
The Land and Water Conservation Fund is a partnership program that provides matching funds to states and local communities for acquisition, development and conservation of parks and open space. The program is administered by the National Park Service in partnership with state governments.
