The Town of Yucca Valley conducted a ribbon cutting ceremony, announcing the completion of the Town’s latest capital improvement project at Paradise Park, on the east end of Yucca Valley. Mayor Robert Lombardo cut the ribbon, with assistance from Mayor Pro Tem George Huntington and fellow Council Members, Merl Abel, Bob Leone, and Dawn Rowe. The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Commission was also represented by PRCC Chair Jeff Evans, and Commissioners Meredith Jones, Edith Jones-Poland, and Laurine Silver. The Paradise Park Improvement Project was financed by Community Development Block Grant funding in the amount of $91,000 and took a month to complete. The improvements include the replacement of the existing playground equipment, and replacing the existing play-surface sand with wood chips allowing for ADA access. The new playground equipment has age-appropriate features for children 2-5 and also 5 – 12 years of age.
