New Additions for all ages in Wooster Memorial Park
If you take a walk by Wooster Memorial Park on Wooster Street across from Warren Street, you'll see several new climbing friends for our children and a ping pong table for our children, youth and adults. The padding below swings and exercise equipment. This project was spearheaded by our former LCI Specialist, Carmen Mendez.
