SALYERSVILLE – A new playground is set to be completed soon at the Ramey Memorial Park, above the flood line and with state-of-the-art inclusive equipment.
Since Magoffin County Judge/Executive Matthew Wireman has been in office, he has overseen the appropriation of approximately $750,000 for the park, including new lights on the ballfields, the batting cage, a new shelter, the new veterans monument modifications and remodeling, and now this new playground, which will be accessible for all.
The new playground is an estimated $490,000 investment, paid for with coal severance funding.
The playground is scheduled to be installed by the end of this month, but the soft and safe surface may take a little longer, weather dependent. In order to make the two-day pour, nighttime temperatures have to be in the 50s, so they are hopeful to have that poured as soon as weather allows.
