Winamac’s parks are a step closer to getting some new drinking fountains. Park board members previously agreed to accept the donation of two decorative drinking fountains for the Town Park. An ADA-compliant drinking fountain is set to be placed along the trail, in the area of the basketball courts. The other fountain would replace the one that currently stands between the swinging bridge and the restrooms. Board members had also agreed to share the cost of a drinking fountain to be placed in Rinehart Park.
During Thursday’s park board meeting, it was reported that the three fountains shipped last week, and they’re expected to arrive on Tuesday. Board President Courtney Poor said the board will work with the town’s Water Department to get them installed with cement bases.
