this play structure was designed with the help of <br />local youth and is attracting droves of children <br />and their family members to enjoy it. Tuniar <br />League and numerous foundations and businesses <br />all pitched in to make it a success. What a great <br />team effort to build this wonderful structured It <br />will be a place where friendships are formed. <br />The face of a couple parks changed dramatically last year. At Potawatami Park, the main <br />shelter pavilion, a center piece for the park since the 1920s, has been completely remodeled. It is <br />beautiful and serves as our largest pavilion in the park system. Nearby, the band shell had <br />several improvements. The concrete pad and new benches make concerts even more enjoyable <br />for our regulars. At Howard Park, after years discussing it, we were finally able to demolish the <br />old maintenance facility. This was possible because we moved tv a newly acquired and <br />remodeled larger facility at 1020 High Street, which will allow us tv store all our equipment <br />inside. This new multi-purpose structure is equipped with workshops far Park's skilled <br />construction crews and will help them to keep our parks in better shape. This move enabled us <br />to add green space and improve access to the river. In the future we may decide to build <br />something at this site, there have been numerous proposals, but for now it is a great improvement <br />that has opened up the park and views of the river. This view is best appreciated from the trestle <br />which links walkways on both sides of the river at Howard Park. We are delighted to have this <br />pedestarian bridge open again. It is a popular connector for waIlcers, joggers and bikers who use <br />our river trail system. It also provides a great alternate route into downtown. <br />If you think there's nothing to do in <br />South Bend, you haven't been in touch with our <br />Parks and Recreation staff.
