Parents, grandparents and other guardians will have shaded areas and tables at which to sit while children play at a couple of North Newton parks that have fairly new playground equipment. That’s thanks to a Kansas Department of Commerce Strategic Economic Expansion and Development Grant for community vibrancy and library projects. The matching-fund grant will be divided between the Kansas Learning Center for Health for outdoor fitness equipment, Halstead Public Library for new carpeting and North Newton for park shade structures. Halstead, along with the other entities, applied for the grant for $50,000 in matching funds across three projects and will receive $49,125.
