Shippensburg — Construction of a new gazebo in a small pocket park in Shippensburg was completed this week.
The park, located on North Fayette Street, is getting some improvements, with the gazebo as its first step. There are also plans for playground equipment, walking trails and other additions to the park.
A $15,000 donation from the Corn Festival Committee contributed to the renovations. Additionally, a Land Partnership Grant of $13,300 through the Cumberland County Planning Department helped make it possible. Other contributions came from John and Sandy Gates, Forest and Becky Myers, and Government Management Services, of Carlisle.
The Corn Festival Committee hopes to complete the park this fall.
