City Cuts Ribbon for New Amenities at 8th Street Park
On November 3, neighbors gathered with Mayor Tammy de Weerd and several Meridian Parks and Recreation commissioners and staff members for a ribbon cutting to celebrate a trio of new amenities recently added to 8th Street Park – a two-acre neighborhood park located at 2235 W. 8th Street, just adjacent to the Meridian Water Department building.
The new amenities include a picnic shelter which will be reservable during the warm weather months, a heated restroom building open for year-round use, and new playground equipment and soft-fall material purchased with funds from the Community Recycling Fund and containing more than 925 lbs of recycled plastic. New sidewalks connecting these amenities were also added as part of the park upgrade project.
