New Playground at 35th Street Park!

In September Battleford Parks and Recreation staff completed the replacement of playground equipment at 35th Street Park. This project was made possible through the support of BATC Community Development Coordination which provided $75,000 in funding toward the project. Be sure to get out and try the new park before winter comes.

See you at the park!
